Presidents Message
Jeff Zellner
I would like to thank all of our
members, big and small for all your support, without you your
Chamber would not exist. Thank
you to all of the board members and ambassadors for your hard work
and dedication to the Chamber and your community.
Thank you to Eric McMurtrey for your service as President for
the past year, I only hope I make a fraction of the impact that you
have made in such a short time.
About 4 years ago I became active in the Chamber thanks to Crystal
Downs. I never knew that
it would be life changing. Because
of my involvement I have started my own business and jumped out into
the unknown, thank you
Crystal
for pushing me out. As
many of you know running your own business is tough work, and I for
one could not have done it without the support of the Chamber and
the support of its members.
This next year I hope to encourage all of our members to get
involved and stand up and support your fellow members.
I would like the word to spread as to what the Chamber is all
about and what the Chamber can do for you business.
This kind of support from every member would only help the
local business community and we can be apart of the growth that is
happening around us. Let’s
get excited about this City’s growth and work together to make it
better.
It’s going to be an amazing year thanks to the foundation that the
past presidents have laid before me, and I am anxious to continue to
build for the future growth of this community.
Thank you
Eric McMurtrey
I would like to begin by thanking all of the
small and large business owners for your support.
Make no mistake; the Chamber is here to serve you and your
interests. I would also
like to thank Debby Moorhead for her dedication and diligent
work. Her efforts are
not in vain and have not gone unnoticed.
I would also like to take this time to recognize Kirk Dall.
His leadership and guidance are very much valued.
Manteca
is a better place to live, work and play because of his service.
Most importantly I would like to acknowledge and thank our
President Circle
sponsors: AKF Development, SSJID, Raymus Homes and Doctors Hospital
of Manteca. Your support
is critical to the success of the community and Chamber.
In my “day” job, I participate in a
tremendous amount of planning. Planning
is essential to the health and well-being of any organization; large
or small, for-profit or not-for-profit.
One of the fundamental aspects of a successful plan in any
organization is the “Mission Statement”. A clear and thoughtful
mission statement provides a shared sense of purpose, direction and
opportunity. As a
testament to the importance of mission statements, my wife (April)
and I crafted a “Family Mission Statement” to help guide our
family nearly 15 years ago.
The mission of the Manteca Chamber is “to
advance the economic well-being and uniqueness of the
Manteca
area so that its citizens and all of the business community shall
prosper.” This is
evident by the work that our BRET Team has provided to several of
the businesses in our community.
This past year we have given out over 900 CDs, which
highlight the best
Manteca
has to offer, to individuals and business that are interested in our
community. This CD has
also been viewed 1,600 times on YouTube.com.
Our mission is also evident as we continue to
work with local organizations on community projects, such as AKF
Development on the
Austin
Business
Park
project, Terry Nash on the Center Point project, and the Trails
project near
McKinley Rd.
and Hwy. 120.
We are all acutely aware of the difficult
economic environment afflicting our country, our county and our
community. It is going
to take a tremendous amount of commitment, team work and planning to
be successful. The
Chamber stands ready to help.
Thank you.
