2010 Annual Report

Message from the Chairman of the Board Wow! Where did the year go! It seems only a short time ago that I accepted the opportunity to serve as your chairman. If you recall we were challenged with finding a new CEO and searching for ways to replace declining revenues. Thankfully many dedicated people came together to meet these challenges. Thank you Mark Fisher for chairing the search committee. Thank you Eilleen, Skip, Barb and Ginger for diligently working through the rigorous process of finding our new leader. Upon bringing our new CEO/President, Todd Christensen on board in January 2010, the Executive Committee and Board embarked on a process of solidifying our organizational functionality and fiscal responsibilities during these challenging economic times. Thank you all for your commitment and guidance. Our organization has always focused on membership and the foundation of providing programs of great value to the business needs of community. This year was no different, and is why today our Membership stands at 1,200+. Our organization would not be as strong as it is today if it were not for the immense time, energy and commitment of the hundreds who serve on our committees. A big thanks to all of you and especially those who serve as committee chairs: Sue Spinazza, Jennifer Riley, LaDonna Beaumont, Mike Ward, Carrie Oja, Tyler Simon, Tim Kastning and John Little. A quick review of the past year must acknowledge the unique and highly successful China travel mission. Todd Christensen must be given the credit for bringing this concept to the Board. Todd led the way in developing this new program to encourage international trade and cultural awareness. The successful China trip meets these objectives and generates revenue for the Chamber. Ginger Dalvini, Manager of Operations/Finance at the Chamber, is richly deserving of praise for the volume of organizational efforts needed to operate this new program. Thank you Ginger. Lastly, we need to thank Jim Thompson and the Press for helping to successfully market this program and for their contribution in helping bring back our printed newsletter. Thank you Jim. Other noteworthy heights of the year must include the KTEC victory, the very upbeat, Upbeat Breakfasts, great business-to-business networking opportunities, a successful auction, great events, focused tourism advertising campaigns, two terrific leadership classes, and the retirement of one terrifically dedicated staff member, Toni Sayler. We will miss you Toni. We already have had a jump-start on the next chapter of our great organization with the first Board Retreat in several years. I have great confidence that under Skip Peterson’s leadership, the Coeur d’Alene Area Chamber of Commerce will flourish in 2011. Sincerely,

Steve Wilson 2010 Chairman of the Board Coeur d’Alene Chamber of Commerce

Message from the Incoming Chairman of the Board Greetings Fellow & Future Chamber Members, Wow! Another challenging year is starting to wind down in beautiful Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. I would like to take a moment to thank all of our current Chamber Members for their ongoing support and extend an invitation to all businesses that are not currently members to research the benefits we offer. You will find that the small investment you make in the Chamber will yield HUGE dividends in the long run. Being a small business owner myself, I can directly relate to the hills and valleys that are inherent in business. However, regardless of whether you are a one person operation or a business with several thousand employees, we all share the common goal of both staying in business and hopefully growing our enterprise. That is where the Coeur d’Alene Area Chamber of Commerce comes in. Your Chamber of Commerce is the single most powerful voice in our community for business and your support is vital to our collective success. No other organization has the ability to advocate for your business and the Coeur d’Alene community like the Chamber. Our strength is directly proportional to membership and the greater our numbers, the more programs, opportunities and influence we can bring to bear on behalf of all businesses in our area. A prime example of this “voice” was the work our Convention and Visitors Bureau did that resulted in a $347,000 grant for 2010-11…..the largest in the state. As we approach our Chamber’s 100 year anniversary in 2012, I can envision us reaching the 2000+ member mark. I know this may seem a lofty goal, but it is totally achievable if we work together. Additionally, with our new CEO/President, Todd Christensen, firmly on board, we have a leader who is helping us chart a course to Coeur d’Alene’s future. He brings to us a renewed energy and under his guidance, the Coeur d’Alene Chamber will remain focused and committed to advocating for both the local tourism industry, as well as the needs and issues specific to the non-tourism based businesses in our community. In closing, I invite you to get actively involved with the Chamber. Whether it be serving on a committee, utilizing marketing opportunities or attending one of the many Chamber networking events, all are great ways to promote your business and are your connections to success. Remember, success in business, much as it is in life, is not about working harder, it’s about working smarter. The Chamber Board of Directors, our professional staff members and numerous volunteers are 100% committed to working hard on your behalf to ensure the future of Coeur d’Alene’s economy and our community’s quality of life. Cheers!

Sincerely,
