I am honored to take on the role as chairman of the Northwest Metroport Chamber of Commerce for 2008. The Chamber is in prime position to expand upon the outstanding results driven by our past chairman Devonna Holland, our president Sally Michalak, an outstanding staff and by the various committees who worked diligently during the year to position us for continued success and growth in 2008.
