Our
Chamber’s mission, like many Chambers, is to promote business in our
local economy. Throughout the year, the chamber focuses its efforts
to highlight our city and its businesses. One of the ways the
Chamber accomplishes this is through the chamber website, as well as
through the many festivals, luncheons, rodeos, street dances,
special events, and ribbon cuttings sponsored throughout the year.
On a daily basis, the Chamber office promotes this community through
its interaction with the many people who inquire about Bridgeport
and its businesses via phone calls, emails, or personal visits.
During the
past year, the Bridgeport Area Chamber of Commerce initiated two new
projects which have a positive impact on the community. The first
of these projects is the PRCA Rodeo which will be held for the 2nd
time in May. The second of these projects is the Chamber’s
involvement in helping to purchase an authentic replica of a Concord
Stagecoach for the city of Bridgeport. Both of these projects help
to highlight the history of our community while at the same time
promoting tourism in our area.
As you can
see, the Bridgeport Area Chamber of Commerce has been working hard
to fulfill its mission to promote our local economy. Our board of
directors, past presidents, and executive director have all
contributed to carrying out this mission, and I challenge each
member to participate more in the coming year. As we all work
together, we can be assured a bright future for our city. It is a
privilege for me to share in that future.
