August 2021 CEO Report

Wow! Summer has flown by, and I cannot believe we are already entering into August. It has been over a month since I have stepped into my position here at the Chamber, and I find myself wondering where those days have gone.

I am both honored and humbled to serve at the CEO of such an outstanding organization, and I am excited to see what the future holds. It did not take me long to realize that the Pierre Area Chamber of Commerce staff and our members, are top notch!

Our mission is to promote, serve and advocate for our membership to succeed today and prepare for tomorrow, and we hope we are doing exactly that! As a member I encourage you to utilize our extensive platform of tools that the Chamber offers to you and your business. These resources available assist you in elevating your businesses exposure in the community. Get the most out of your membership by attending Chamber events, volunteering on a committee or reaching out to Chamber staff. I know I speak for our entire team when I say, our doors are always open, and we want to hear your thoughts, concerns and ideas. We are here to support you! We at the Pierre Area Chamber of Commerce will continue to work diligently at keeping an open dialogue with our members, to offer services that our members value and to provide fresh perspective to help your businesses grow and our community thrive.

I look forward to working with each and every one of you to continue making the Pierre area a great place to live, work and play!
