The President’s Message
The Arcadia-Bienville
Parish Chamber
of Commerce celebrated an important birthday during our annual banquet last
month. We are now
one year old. While we were celebrating our first, we also helped
The board had its first regular meeting on
Monday, April 18th. During our meeting we identified the projects we have
ongoing and
assigned board members to them. In addition to the projects
that the chamber has traditionally
sponsored such as After Hours, the 4th of July Picnic, and our annual banquet, the board is
going to be working on business development and assistance.
Representatives from our board will be meeting with other chamber
representatives to see what programs are
available to support the businesses
in our parish. We hope to develop programs
that will offer direct support as well
as sponsoring seminars and sessions
covering topics directly
relating to our local business
needs.
Susan Moore is working hard to get
our new web site up and running. The project is funded by a grant to Louisiana Tech and the
university is providing all technical
assistance to us. When completed, the public will be able to see what we have
to offer here in Bienville Parish.
Does your business have a web site? If so, please let us know the address. It would also be helpful to us if we had an e-mail address for every member who has one. If you have an e-mail address, please let us know by sending notice to our office at arcadiachamber@bellsouth.net.
Thank
you all for supporting the Chamber. We are excited about this year and hope to continue to grow in our
service to this community. Be sure and check your Chamber Calendar for upcoming
events.
