Meet The Staff

First let me say that it has been a pleasure working with the Board of Directors to grow the Beachwood chamber, and to network and engage with the community business leaders.

I am please to share a summary of some our accomplishments to date. It has been a productive and rewarding year, and I am grateful for the trust the Board has placed in me. Here a four key achievements that have strengthened our Chamber and set the stage for future growth.

* Membership Growth and Retention: We have successfully increased our membership base by 12%. Our member retention rate has also improved, thanks to enhanced engagement strategies and personalized outreach.

* Launch of New Business Support Programs: Along with the City of Beachwood Economic Development Department, we help mentor and encourage small businesses to take advantage of the on-line support mechanisms available for small business.

* Enhanced Networking Opportunities: Our networking events have been increasing in attendance thanks to the introduction of new formats, including industry specific roundtables, lunches with guest speakers, and after hours mixers.

*Community Engagement and Visibility: Our Chamber has become more visible in the community through partnerships with other Chamber groups and participation in community events. We’ve also increased our social media campaign that includes weekly email blasts and a greater on-line presence.

These accomplishments are a testament to our collective efforts and the vibrant community we serve. I am excited about the future and look forward to building on the momentum as we continue to support our members and foster a thriving business community.

Warm regards,

Dave Lapierre
