It takes a village to make a winning team
March 21, 2022
The Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce understands that in order to have a strong economic environment, we must have a strong community. We are so fortunate to have dedicated county and city leaders, business owners, educators, public safety, first responders, and citizens. I truly believe we all share in the responsibility of economic success and happiness within our community. It does take a village, and the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce is here to be your business connection and resource.
We are all striving to continually gain our economic growth, especially after going through the past couple of years and still feeling some fragments of those times. The Charlotte County Chamber is no different. It is an honor to work alongside our dedicated and committed Board of Directors who share the same vison for a strong and healthy community and to enhance our membership environment.
We love our community and all the interworking parts of it. With our ever-growing membership to really benefit is to be engaged, involved and participate for a united community success. On a personal reference, going back to my organized sport days, I learned a great deal from John Wooden and Jerry Tarkanian. Albeit, they were both cut from very different parts of the cloth, however, winning was always the end result. Winning definitely takes a team approach. There is nothing like being on a winning team!
