From the President
Greetings.
The Catoosa Chamber of Commerce is comprised of individuals from our local business community, our education system, and our civic organizations. We are a volunteer organization, we are professionals ~ we are a team.
We are dedicated to the growth, development, and success of each one of our member businesses and we have begun implementing several new initiatives to provide our members with tools for success. In 2009 the Chamber completely revised our website to provide our members with tools and resources that are applicable to the needs of today's businesses. In addition, we are preparing to launch the Chamber's "Member-to-Member” Benefit Program which is an incentive-based program devised to entice individuals and businesses to use one another for products and services before seeking a company outside of Catoosa. If we support the businesses within our community, our community will grow and thrive and succeed.
As a Chamber we recognize that commerce is the engine behind our local economy and we are always working to develop new and creative ways to improve commerce within Catoosa. We have an Economic Development team that is diligently working to bring new development to Catoosa. This team works in partnership with the City of Catoosa and the Catoosa Economic Development Authority to help facilitate the type of economic development that is desired and beneficial to our citizens and businesses. We are constantly looking at ways to increase retail, industrial, business, and residential developments. Even during these times when development and construction has slowed in other cities, we see construction happening around us and we are encouraged that this trend will continue.
The Catoosa Chamber of Commerce is proud of our community. We have a strong commitment to our schools, outstanding partnerships with the City of Catoosa and the Catoosa Economic Development Authority, and we have a love of our community.
Sincerely,
Amy K. Southerland
President
