LEADERSHIP MATTERS A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
2022 is going to be a busy year for The Chamber. We hit the ground running and are excited to share many upcoming events and opportunities with you. The Chamber Leadership Program is accepting applications now through March 1, 2022. The program includes eight educational sessions, which begin in April. Participants meet the third Tuesday of each month from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. for a curriculum centered around a main topic. There will also be behind-the-scenes tours, demonstrations and interactive activities, lectures, and briefings. Additionally, we are introducing a new subject to the Leadership Program — personal development activities. This will help participants reflect, grow self-awareness as leaders or future leaders, and learn interpersonal skills. We welcome business and community leaders to apply, and learn more on our website. Then on Valentine’s Day, The Chamber is celebrating this day of love at our next Forum. Similar to January, February’s Forum will be a hybrid event, with the option to attend virtually, or in person at the Rogue Valley Country Club. The presentation will start at 12 p.m. You can register for Forum on The Chamber website. Our weekly Greeters will also be hybrid, although with the recent increase in COVID cases, we are holding it entirely virtual for now. The health and safety of our members and staff is paramount, so we are taking the proper precautions. Additionally, The Chamber’s Young Professionals Network (YPN) will be returning soon. YPN's mission is to connect, develop and empower young professionals to become the region's future leaders. If you are passionate about making an impact in our community and your career, stay tuned for more details about future events. First and foremost, The Chamber is focused on making connections between our members and the community. We understand many companies are seeking employees, so we created the Chamber Job Board to connect businesses with employees in need of work. Employers who are Chamber's members may post their jobs at no charge. You may view the Job Board and learn more on our website. The Chamber has many exciting things planned for 2022. We are entering the new year with a positive attitude, and creating safe, educational, and rewarding events for our members and the community.
Sincerely,
Irmes Dagba-Craven Editor in Chief/Vice President of Communications & Programs The Chamber of Medford & Jackson County
