The Cuyahoga
Valley Chamber Spring into Wellness Annual Fair and Luncheon
A message from

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE |
| by Lynette Slama |

Welcome Spring and the City of Seven Hills to our
Chamber. It is so rewarding to see companies, communities and
individuals working together for the benefit of our great
region.
We have been working on several new
programs for our members. The newest program we are excited to
launch is our Spring Employment Law Roundtable Luncheon Series
presented by the law firm of Wegman, Hessler & Vanderburg. Be
sure to check out the topics listed in this issue of Chamber
Focus, especially if you are a manager, owner, or in human
resources.
Our chamber is one of a kind in
this area...now representing six communities. We are working
with other surrounding chambers on the First Annual South
Suburban Corporate Pinewood Race & Business After Hours even.
Plans are underway for a Business to Business Expo in June to
reach out even further to North Royalton and Strongsville. Hope
you will join us for both!
We always welcome input from our
members, so please share your ideas and comments with us.
Look forward to hearing from you.
