LEADERSHIP MATTERS A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
T he holidays are nearly here — a time when we reflect on the year and give thanks for our community, friends, family and neighbors. At The Chamber, we are grateful for the numerous businesses and entrepreneurs we work with. We have the opportunity to experience the diversity of the Rogue Valley through these local businesses, and we love to share that with people near and far. October’s Forum was sponsored by Rogue Credit Union and featured speaker Cynthia Scherr, Principal at Scherr Management Consulting. Cynthia leads strategic planning processes and leadership development programs for organizations with complex challenges. She also serves as an executive coach and trusted advisor for business leaders, helping them set priorities and advance toward their goals. Her presentation at Forum focused on tools for courageous leadership, and drew upon Brené Brown’s book, Dare to Lead. The next Forum will be on December 12, 2022 at the Rogue Valley Country Club, with Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians as the sponsor. The speaker will be Dr. Randy Weber, Ed.D. President of Rogue Community College, and the presentation will focus on Rogue Community College’s Commitment to its Students and the Community. Tickets are available on our website. The Young Professionals Network held an amazing event at the Chamber on November 10th. It was wonderful to gather with everyone before the holiday season. We are taking a one-month break in December and will resume in January 2023 with a special kick-off for the new year. We are working on putting together a Monte Carlo Casino Night to help raise funds for the Leadership program. Stay tuned for more information! Additionally, there are advertising spots available in the Business Review. This is The Chamber’s online monthly publication which goes out to the business community. Reaching about 5,000 subscribers, the Business Review is a great way for local businesses to advertise and connect with other companies. At The Chamber, we are thankful for an amazing 2022 and anticipate that 2023 will be even better. Our team is grateful to share the bounty of the Rogue Valley, and we are proud of how our local businesses impact the community. There is so much to experience here, and we look forward to growing more every year.
Yours in Success,
Irmes Dagba-Craven Editor in Chief/Vice President of Communications & Programs The Chamber of Medford & Jackson County
