Chamber Membership

The Chelsea Chamber of Commerce is considering changing the membership requirements.
Instead of having membership price based on the number of employees (the method that 98% of Chambers use) to a membership based on benefits. Would you be in favor of such a change?

Interviewing for Chelsea First Position

Four terrific candidates were interviewed for the Chelsea First Marketing position on Monday!
It will be difficult to whittle down the list from such a strong field of candidates. We are one step closer and we will talk to two of the four candidates shortly!
Thanks to Trinh Pfifer,Mike Casey,John Hanifan and Judy Stratman for taking the time to interview our applicants!!

Thank You

A special Thank You is in order for the strong and consistent efforts of Pat Cleary, John Hanifan, Bill Harmer, Bob Pierce, Craig Common and Ann Feeney for spearheading the local Chelsea efforts. These people have epitomized the strengths we as a community espouse. We are fortunate to have had such strong leadership during these difficult economic times.

Thank You to everyone who has contributed time,money and ideas to Chelsea in the last several intense months. Your future input and assistance is essential to the progress we are making as a community.
The Chelsea First Steering Committee is in the process of interviewing candidates for the new Chelsea Marketing Position. Once that process is complete and a person is chosen we will need to give that person some time to meet community leaders and organize information gathered up to this point.
Please be patient. This is a LONG TERM commitment, not a short term fix. I expect many things will take time to develop.

This is a good time for me to review and ask you:
What are our strength's as a community?
What specific areas need attention? (i.e. - a Chelsea Cash Program)
What "low hanging fruit" is out there?
What long term projects should be considered?

By emphasizing "Chelsea First" we will reduce problems and increase the overall effectiveness of our new marketing program.
