Chamber President Visits Rotary Steinbach Chamber of Commerce President Kent Ledingham attended a recent Rotary meeting to explain the Chamber's history and role in our community.
The mission of the local Chamber of Commerce is to unite and represent Steinbach and area businesses in the belief that the resulting economic growth and stability provides an enhanced quality of life for residents here. That's according to Kent Ledingham, who took time out of his busy schedule to talk to Rotarians recently.
Ledingham informed South Eastman Rotary members about the different committees of the chamber and how they work together to provide the business community with a way to connect with each other and the community, educate employees and employers and advocate for a business community locally, provincially and federally.
Another highlight of the luncheon was the answer to the question ''Why does someone join the chamber?'' Ledingham explains it's different for everyone but key reasons include member to member programs, networking opportunities and community involvement and support.
Thank You Kent! Rotarians look forward to working more with the Chamber in the near future and years to come.
