The C4 Report From the City of Central Chamber of Commerce

By  | 

 

   The City of Central Chamber of Commerce mission is to guide, inspire, and promote the business and professional interests of its members and to enhance the economic, cultural, and recreational opportunities for the citizens of Central. Thanks to our members, who are the Central Chamber, we continue to provide benefits that help to fulfill this mission.  One of the benefits that many of our members utilize is our monthly membership luncheon.  Our luncheons are held the second Wednesday of each month at Kristenwood Reception Center located at 14025 Greenwell Springs Road here in Central.  For a cost of only $12, the luncheon provides an opportunity for members to eat lunch, network, promote their business, listen to a variety of guest speakers, and to top it off, possibly win a door prize!  
    As the Central Chamber, we have had the opportunity to bring some tremendous speakers and organizations to our community this year.  These speakers include: Gordy Rush from Guaranty Broadcasting, Buddy Ragland of Coleman Partners Architects, Tasha Clark-Amar from the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging, Daniel Vlosky from the LSU Small Business Center, Stephen Moret, Louisiana Secretary of Economic Development, and this month our speaker was Jim Patterson, Louisiana Association of Business and Industry’s Vice President of Legislative affairs.  In the coming months we are scheduled to hear from United States Congressman Dr. Bill Cassidy and John Kennedy, Louisiana Secretary Treasurer.    
    We continue to strive to bring beneficial and encouraging information to our members.  We are excited to have had the opportunity to bring these speakers into our community.  Not only does it allow our members to hear from them but it also exposes these speakers to our Chamber, its members, and to our great community!  We look forward to continuing these efforts and encourage everyone to come on out and be a part of these great meetings!  For more information contact the Central Chamber office at 261-5818.
