As I start my second year as chamber president I have had a lot to reflect on and get excited about for 2023! We have accomplished so much in one year and I owe it all to the GKPC team and the incredible board we have put together. As many of you have seen we have added a lot of energy into accomplishing our mission! The simplest way to present that mission to the members is to say: we choose to do three things every day CONNECT ~ COMMUNICATE ~ COLLABORATE and we have done that at an exciting pace in 2022. Our Social media influence has grown considerably, we have create new ways for our members to connect online and in person and we are finding ways to work with organizations throughout the region to bring prosperity to our community. It is not stopping there, we have produced two major video series and will continue to find ways to showcase our members in unique and creative methods. 2023 is already starting with a bang as we prepare for our Gala Event (yes it has moved to March this year). With the Gala comes probably the biggest and most exciting part of 2023 ( it is hush hush for now). We will embrace this new energy that was established in 2022 and focus that on doing more for our members everyday!
