2012 is now in the record books! 2013 will undoubtedly bring many challenges as we deal with taxes and unbridled government spending. Obviously, what has gone on in Washington over the last few days definitely was not done with small businesses in mind! With the challenges, one thing that you can count on is that the City of Central Chamber of Commerce will continue to work hard to promote the growth and support of small businesses, the well being of our community, and the strength of our commerce. I would like to take this week’s article to introduce to you the folks that will help us accomplish this task.
