Dear Fellow Chamber Members,

I would like to say that I am humbled and honored to serve as your 2010 Fountain Valley Chamber President. The reality is that the chamber staff and volunteers are here to serve our members, the business community, and the community at large.  With this in mind, as I am sure you are aware, the new year is upon us and whether you have just started a business or if you have just started your 20th year in business, it is a great time for a fresh start! This is a time to put to rest old habits like procrastination, and to renew a commitment to positive actions and attitudes. The best place to start is reviewing your purpose and goals! The chamber offers free business counseling to members that can help you address this matter. We also offer great opportunities to make fantastic business connections and to connect with potential clients. Review the chamber calendar of events and plan on attending whatever fits your schedule. This can make such a difference to the visibility of your company in our community.

I look forward to helping create some new programs this year to assist businesses small and large connect with their target market. Whether you have just started business or have been doing business for many years we all have a vested interest in our local community. I look forward to being of service to the chamber and it’s members in 2010 as your chamber president. As such, I would like to urge you to commit to making the most of whatever this new year brings, and it is my hope is that with your fresh start many blessings will come your way!

Sincerely,

Dr. Leslie VanDeusen, D.C.
2010 Fountain Valley Chamber President
