LEADERSHIP MATTERS A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
A nother year has come and gone, and now is a time for reflection. At The Chamber, we have much to be grateful for this year. We launched a new festival, connected with numerous businesses and individuals in our community, and spread the message of the Rogue Valley to locals and visitors alike. As we look toward 2023, we are excited for the next event held by the Young Professionals Network. It will be a Monte Carlo Casino Night on January 21, 2023, at the Rogue Valley Country Club. The event will raise funds for Community Works, Girls Scouts of Oregon & Southwest Washington, and Youth 71Five Ministries, which provide assistance to families in our community. There are sponsorship opportunities available and you may purchase tickets on The Chamber website. Registration includes two drinks per person, hors d’oeuvres, raffle tickets, and casino-style games. This month’s Forum was held on December 12th, sponsored by Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians and featured speaker Dr. Randy Weber, president of Rogue Community College (RCC). He spoke about the current state of RCC, future plans, and upcoming community partnerships. The next Forum will be on January 9, 2023, at the Rogue Valley Country Club, with U.S. Bank as the sponsor. Tickets are available on our website. Additionally, The Chamber launched our Small Business Season campaign to support local businesses. We have discounts and coupons from businesses in the community and encourage people to shop, eat and support locals during the holiday season and beyond. Because when we help small businesses thrive, we are supporting our friends and neighbors, helping with job creation, and building a stronger economy. The Chamber is looking forward to 2023 and all the opportunities the new year holds. We are grateful for 2022 and for watching our business community grow. The Rogue Valley has a charm that attracts people to live and visit here year after year. It is our joy to share that spark and help our area flourish.
Yours in succcess,
Irmes Dagba-Craven Editor in Chief/Vice President of Communications & Programs The Chamber of Medford & Jackson County
