The turn of a new year is often time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. It is a blank slate and a chance to lay the groundwork for what’s next. Your Chamber is always asking the question “how can we be better for our community?”
With that in mind, the Chamber is excited to announce a new partnership with Alliance Publishing Group of Birmingham in the production of our 2020 Community Guide and Membership Directory, which will publish in June of 2020.
Ray Mabus, former Governor of Mississippi and now Secretary of the Navy, once said that sometimes people become the victims of the “tyranny of low expectations.” It oftentimes becomes satisfactory to “settle” for something less than optimal.
Local chamber leaders simply must not be satisfied when someone tells us, “that’s the best we can do.” We should never accept the notion that “doing all right” is the norm and is acceptable. Our challenge as local chamber leaders is to find new opportunities, make difficult decisions, raise expectations, and tackle the status quo.
