Chair's Corner

Donna Hill


    Wow!!! 20 days and counting. The past 12 months have flown by and I find myself at the end of my term. It has been bittersweet with some amazing gains and devastating personal and professional losses. I cannot honestly say that I enjoyed every moment; how ever, I have appreciated every encounter, positive and challenging. I have treasured every person, organization and group that has worked with me along my journey and I love, love, love some of the things we have accomplished, explored, and sometimes rethought.

● We tried an alternate location for the AV Chambers flea market and found that AV Fair
Grounds is the overwhelming favorite for this event.
● We planted the seeds for a more unified Chamber Community
● We moved our office to a more central location and are finalizing an additional surprise.
● We held a successful election which yielded one of the most diverse boards to date
● We updated the operational infrastructure and expanded the staff
● We introduced chamber life to many who had never considered it and so much more

With all that movement we close out my term with an amazing Motown themed instillation
Par’tay . I will need to see you all at the spot on 6/21/24. I am picking out my outfit and I will be cute. Get your tickets and sponsorship from the amazing Rosalinda.
Thanks to you all, especially my board and the staff. See you next term as past chair ...
Whew!!!

Sincerely
Donna Hill
