LEADERSHIP MATTERS A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Valued Chamber Members, The energy in the valley is vibrant and palpable, and we are full speed ahead onto the next season of success! Our 104th Annual Excellence in Business Awards was a fantastic celebration of our region’s top enterprise talent. Sincere congratulations to all of this year’s well-deserving honorees! Your innovation, visionary leadership, and community commitment inspire me about the bright future of business in our region. Putting on an elegant awards ceremony takes immense coordination. Thank you to our incredible event planning committee for their hard work and attention to every detail. This night wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our generous sponsors including our Title sponsor, Marsh McLennan Agency and our Titanium sponsor, S+B James Construction. I also want to recognize our small army of volunteers who devoted their time and energy to ensuring the event ran smoothly. The generosity of these individuals and companies highlights why I’m proud to be part of the Medford business community. More excitement is just around the corner! Mark your calendars for our upcoming Forum season, starting October 16 with Rogue Credit Union. Please reach out to us at busines@ medfordchamber.com to renew or purchase a table or season ticket! Based on your feedback, we’ve refreshed Forum to optimize the experience. Stay tuned for announcements about the positive changes we’ve been working on. More exciting news, we’re participating in the Heart of the Rogue Festival October 13 at Pear Blossom Park! Join our Young Professionals Network for VIP perks like discounted tickets to Wine Country Lane, premium parking, the closest seats to live music, and extended hours to meet fellow rising leaders! Additionally, we just welcomed a new class into our eight-month Leadership class. This immersive program identifies and cultivates our community’s next generation of influencers and decision-makers. I’m energized by this passionate group of professionals and can’t wait to see the impact they make. Stay tuned for more events, initiatives, and engagement opportunities to come. When our businesses work collaboratively, we can accomplish incredible things. Thank you for your continued partnership as we provide resources for Helping Businesses Succeed!
Sincerely,
Eli Matthews, IOM President & CEO Chamber of Medford and Jackson County
