Embracing Opportunities: What's Ahead in 2024 for the Sarnia-Lambton Chamber of Commerce
While living through the month of January in real time feels like it will NEVER END, I can’t help but wonder where the heck it went! I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for some sunshine and to pack my winter boots away!
Now that the longest month of the year is over and it’s only smooth sailing from here, it’s time to embrace the opportunities and challenges that the new year brings. As we look ahead to the next eleven months of 2024, the Sarnia Lambton Chamber of Commerce remains committed to providing unwavering support, advocacy, and resources to our members. A significant part of this commitment is our new 2024-2027 strategic plan, set to be launched at our AGM at the end of February. We are so excited to unveil our new vision, mission, and values!
With a focus on advocacy, collaboration, inclusivity, and enhancing membership value, I am happy to provide a strategic plan teaser of what our members and the community can expect from the Sarnia Lambton Chamber of Commerce over the next three years:
