Thank you Chamber members. Each member of the Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce reinforces the belief that Lawrence county is an excellent place to have a business. I would also like to thank the Board of Directors for having confidence in my ability to work for the Chamber.
Our membership shares a common goal when it comes to business interests locally and statewide. Your chamber is a member of the Illinois State Chamber, which lobby’s the government on our behalf. We strive to be united as much as possible, to provide a united front when addressing local, regional and state government. It is much easier to get things done at the regional and state level with a single voice, rather than separate voices or undefined agendas.
The chamber hopes to increase membership, conduct seminars through the Illinois State Chamber and continue to sponsor the different events that are popular for our county. I am a member of the Southeastern Illinois Convention and Visitors Bureau, also working with the Lawrence County Workforce Advisory Council.
