First of all I would like to sincerely thank all of our members and supporters for helping us have another fantastic year here at the Coldwater Area Chamber of Commerce.  I am proud to announce that our retention rate for membership over the last 12 months is right at 95%, for all of you that have continuously supported us and stuck with us in our transition since February of 2018 I can't thank you enough!  Also, a big thank you to the 40+ new members that joined our Chamber during the 2019 calendar year.  We are very excited to keep rolling out new value added benefits such as our Member-2-Member Discount Program.  Also, we are delighted to keep offering our staple member benefits such as our Live @ Lunch Membership Showcase Series, Chamber Chat Radio Interview, Member Spotlight of the Week write-up, our Monthly Daily Reporter Article, and more.  We will also keep bringing our traditional networking functions such as our Business for Breakfast, After Business Hours Series, Annual Community Awards Dinner (Nominations Open/Available Here), Annual Educator Appreciation Night, Annual Golf Outing, Annual Jingle & Mingle Holiday Party, and much more!  Our Mini Golf Scramble this year was a huge success to, therefore we have decided to now make that an annual function.  Be sure to also stay on the lookout for National Chamber of Commerce Week 2020 (October 18-24).  Needless to say, we are gearing up for a very exciting 2020 here at the Coldwater Area Chamber of Commerce!  We will also be restructuring the format of the Young Professionals of Branch County to ensure that we are making the biggest impact on our community that we can.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at info@coldwaterchamber.com, call me at 517-278-5985, or drop by the Chamber in person during business hours (appointments outside of business hours available if needed).  I personally encourage all members of the Coldwater Chamber to reach out to our Chamber team in order to ensure that they are getting the most of their membership with our Chamber.  Once again I can't thank all of our members and supporters for helping make our Chamber the absolute best Chamber that it can be.  Also, a big shout out to the 2019 Board of Directors and the 2019 Chamber Ambassador Committee for all of their support.  Let's take 2020 head on and make the most of it together everyone!   


Sincerely,
Cayden Sparks
