Letter from the
Chairman
A
s
a County Official I understand the scope of
the challenges that face our County and I
look forward to serving Polk County in
another capacity --- as your Chamber
President.
Despite the challenges that face our
county and state, 2009 has been a successful
year for the Livingston-Polk County Chamber
of Commerce. Given the state of the economy
and the possible challenges that we are
facing, we hope to continue to move forward
in 2010. We hope to continue cooperative
advertising programs, county-wide
coordinated efforts to encourage tourism,
and other county-wide efforts to bring
revenue and jobs into our area. These group
advertising and development efforts have
allowed all of us to get “more bang for our
buck” than we
would have been able to achieve
individually.
As we face the challenges of 2010, let’s
continue to do so with a positive approach,
looking forward and striving to make this
community even to make this community even
better. I encourage you to get involved with
“your” Chamber and become part of the
Chamber team. Your attendance at Chamber
events and support of local businesses can
only strengthen this area and assist all of
us in making 2010 another good year for Polk
County. The Chamber has a variety of
activities and programs to meet every need
and we are always willing to listen to new
ideas and suggestions. Give Sydney and
Yvonne a call ---- get involved.
It is up to all of us
to make 2010 a successful and gratifying
year. I look forward to serving with you
this year. Let’ make 2010 the best that it
can be!
Kenneth Hammack
Chairman
