Cicero Chamber October Luncheon at Brick House Cafe 3
From the
Chamber
President It has been almost two years since I took the position as
President of the Greater Cicero Chamber of Commerce.
I wanted to get a few things accomplished. First, I wanted
John
to get the membership count up. We have done that. By
Annable
countless hours of tilling the soil, we went to our members
Annab
and past members to get them excited about the chamber and
Karate
John’s
it’s direction. Second, I wanted the chamber to be on the same
page with all the local community groups, the town, fire
department, police, and the Canteen to name a few. We have
done that. And third, get a direction as where the chamber can
Help "community meet commerce."
Here are a few possibilities for the future as I see it for the Greater Cicero Chamber of Commerce...
I would like more people involved. We need to have break off committees to help specific networking
opportunities.
Committees might include a welcome committee, concerts in the park, golf outings, networking groups and
others as needed. Most people don't realize that this is a volunteer organization. Having open board meetings,
at different times, may help people see how they can get involved and share ideas.
I would like Cicero and North Syracuse (Plank Road) Chambers to support each other and/or eventually merge.
It has been 30 years since the school systems merged, why not the business community? Our chamber
headquarters are a stones throw away from each other. Business owners would only need to belong to a single
organization that encompasses the greater community. We could share resources, increase our advertising and
networking opportunities and be more involved in our whole community.
Elections for the board of directors are in November. I would like to see a good turn out by chamber members
to help support this organization. An open mind and a plan is someplace to start.
