President’s Message
Curtis Polk, President, SWMCC
Time is flying and we will be embarking on one of my most favoriteseasons soon, Spring. All the trees, plants, and flowers start to bud, grow, and bloom. As we begin this new season, we are hopeful for the same thing to happen with our partners; that their businesses bud, grow, and bloom. We also welcome your assistance in reaching out to potential partners to join us so we can help grow, support, and enhance their businesses as well. Congratulations to Infinite Opportunities for winning the fire pit at our February luncheon. All partners who had renewed their membership in January had their name in the drawing. Thanks to all who have renewed their membership, and to those who have not done so, please join us and renew yours also! Do not forget to vote on March 5th, 2024, in the Alabama State Primary election. We have had many of the candidates attend our luncheons and speak at our Candidate Forum in January. If you were unable to attend, please educate yourself and exercise your Constitutional duty to vote.
On March 21st, we will once again be honoring our First Responders with a drive thru appreciation lunch. Please contact the Chamber staff if you would like to sponsor, donate items for the swag bags, or volunteer at the event. It is very heartwarming to see the appreciation on the faces of those who serve us so well in our communities.
Last year we brought the Small Business Expo back to the Community Center and it was a huge hit! We will once again be hosting this event on Friday, April 5th, at the Community Center from 2:00-5:00pm. Please contact the Chamber staff if you would like to have a booth. This is also a great time of networking with some incredible door prizes too!
As you can see, we have a lot of fun events and networkingopportunities going on at the SouthWest Mobile County Chamber.We look forward to seeing you at our luncheon on Wednesday, March 6th. Feel free to bring a guest with you and as always, YOUR SUCCESS IS OUR BUSINESS. Let us know what we can do to help grow and support your business and contribute to your success.
