Change is good for ChamberWest!  With our updated mission of To Enhance the Business Community through Connections, Promotion and Advocacy and our new tagline of Empowering Local Business, our Board of Directors approved our new logo design last week.   We are excited about our new look, updated  mission statement and tag line, and same strong commitment to our members!  You will be receiving an email with a digital version for your use as “A Proud Member”.  Many thanks to Lynne Burns with designogy for her work on this exciting project!
