MEMBERSHIP HIGHLIGHTS
 
The Cuyahoga Valley Chamber Spring into Wellness Annual Fair and Luncheon

A message from the Chamber President

 


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.
