CHAMBER CHATTER
Lovington Chamber of Commerce
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
As the newest Chamber of
Commerce board president I
am proud to serve you as the
voice of business in
Lovington. It is my goal to
lend a helping hand in
evolving our Chamber for
the better. I plan on looking
for ways to better inform and
serve you, our members, and
ensure our Chamber is on
par with the networking,
education and marketing
opportunities we provide as
part of your investment in
the Chamber.
If you are not already, I urge
you to join me in becoming
actively involved in the
organization that is here to
support you. A strong
business community plays
an instrumental role in
creating jobs and improving
the local economy, as well as
the overall quality of life in
Lovington. Business relies
on a well-rounded,
well-educated workforce to
run effectively and
efficiently. Businesses look
for a strong educational
system when deciding where
to locate. The Chamber has
been a strong advocate for
our community’s educational
quality and will continue to
be so.
In the end we’re all working
toward a better Lovington,
and for this to happen we
need everyone to do their
part and make their voice
heard. Onwards and upwards.
