  • 2010 - Are You Ready?



    February 17, 2010

    Not a day goes by that we aren't being confronted with news about the economy. The business community has not seen times like this in recent history.
    There are a few signs of improvement; the Dow has reach the 10,000 mark, manufacturing numbers are improving and home sales are also moving upwards.
    But there is still a long way to go.

    It is the Pinole Chamber of Commerce's goal to help the business community and particularly the small business community, prosper. A challenge to be sure.
    But those business owners who have managed to stay in the game may be poised to take advantage of the recovery. We are hopeful that will happen sooner rather than later.
    As we set goals for 2010 we are acutely aware of the economic climate. But we are also cognizant of the need to serve you, our members, in ways that are practical and useful to you.

    Last year's West County Expo made it very clear that we could work together as a regional business community.
    That spirit of collaboration has spread throughout West County.
    "Expo" was followed by the first "Super Mixer". Both of these events drew from the region with attendance at the Expo estimated at 1,000 and at the Super Mixer at 300.
    More joint efforts are being planned and of course, we are preparing to host West County Expo 2010.

    In this "Great Recession" it has been imperative to be innovative, inclusive and creative. We will continue to work for you and with you.

    We ask that you beome a part of the process not a silent bystander in local government.
    Be Informed and Be Involved. Be Part of the Chamber.
    Together we can weather the storm.


    Feel free to contact me directly

     

    We are here for you!
