LEADERSHIP MATTERS A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
F ebruary is all about love — and the most well-known symbol of it — the heart. The Chamber proudly supports and observes American Heart Month during February, because every year more than 600,000 Americans die from heart disease. Heart disease is the number one cause of deaths for most groups, and affects all ages, genders and ethnicities. American Heart Month raises awareness about the importance of a healthy heart and encourages habits that help reduce the risk of heart disease. We hope you take time this month to educate yourself about this disease, and find healthy ways to support your heart. Next month, join us for our sixth Forum series on March 14, 2022, which will be a panel discussion with our monthly sponsor, Hunter Communications. Attendees will have the option to join virtually, or in-person, at the Rogue Valley Country Club. The presentation will start at 12 p.m. You can register for Forum on our website. Our weekly Greeters will also be a hybrid event moving forward. The Chamber has postponed its Leadership Program until August 16, 2022. With the extended start date, we are accepting applications through July 16, 2022. The program includes eight educational sessions, and participants meet the third Tuesday of each month from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. There will be behind-the-scenes tours, demonstrations and interactive activities, lectures and briefings. Additionally, the Leadership Program will include personal development activities. This will help participants reflect, grow self-awareness as leaders or future leaders, and learn interpersonal skills. Learn more and sign up on our website. Also, The Chamber has cancelled this year’s annual trip to Egypt. This was a hard decision, but we value the health and safety of our staff and members, and want to do what is best for everyone. We look forward to taking this adventure with you next year! Everyone at The Chamber is excited for the educational and rewarding experiences we have planned for our community this year. We are ready to bring you even more opportunities to collaborate, network, and grow.
Yours in success,
Irmes Dagba-Craven Editor in Chief/Vice President of Communications & Programs The Chamber of Medford & Jackson County
