Gear up for the New Year!
Like many of you, I feel it is a little hard to focus this time of year. With the kids on vacation for the holidays and all the parties between Thanksgiving and the new year, there are plenty of distractions. Not to mention, what is almost an annual event, LSU in a BCS Bowl game! Don't get me wrong, I love this time of year, but it is fair to say that business productivity is not at an optimum level during this period. In Louisiana, the distractions last even a little longer with Mardi Gras coming on the heels of the holidays. While this is a boon time for gift shops the typical office has the challenge of keeping its staff focused. With that being said, the chamber is gearing up for the new year by having our annual planning meeting later this month to re-focus our efforts. We made great strides in 2007 and will look to exceed that in 2008. Please email me at ideas@stfrancisvillechamber.com with any suggestions for improvement, new programs we could offer or just general feedback.
The runoff ballots for the final two board of director positions were collected and counted last Friday and once again the outcome was as close as you could get. We are adding two new board members in Cathy Howard with Redstick Armature and Janis Crutchfield with the Bank of St. Francisville. Welcome aboard!
Geaux Tigers,
