Highlights of the June Chamber Minutes
from President, Karen Debergh
Executive Report
Karen Debergh reported on the Executive Committee. Feature Act with the Municipality is recognizing people throughout the community. They are looking for organizations that help increase people’s quality of life, that does not provide financial gain or for profit, helps for access to the community or enhances the community at large. They would like the Chamber’s assistance in thinking of an individual or group from Wallaceburg they could recognize.
The Anti-Spam Legislation come into effect on July 1st. We have 3 years to completely implement the legislation as we are a not for profit organization.
The Executive discussed Strategic Planning as they feel the Chamber is losing focus. There are different issues that need to be looked at. It will be a huge project that will probably take 12-18 months to implement. Karen had a meeting with James Snyder who is involved in different communities and would like to help.
