A new year, a fresh start — resolutions and goals established … a clean slate.
One year equals 365 opportunities. What is on your list that you’ve always wanted to do? Now is your chance: no more waiting. This is your year to make it happen!
With a new year comes new leadership. We are proud to announce our new Chairman of the Board, Mark Woodworth with The Murray Group. Mark received the leadership “baton” from our now Past Chairman of the Board, Graydon Stanley, VP of student services for North Idaho College. We have a strong executive team, which includes Chairman-elect Jerry Lyon, President & Chief Operating Officer for Community 1st Bank; Vice Chairman Julie Holt, President of Kootenai Health Foundation; and Treasurer Randy Oaks, Principal, with ISU Insurance Services, Haddock & Associates.
Speaking of leadership, if you didn’t have the chance to attend the CEO Speakers Series during the last two years, I would highly recommend you mark your calendars. Our 2019 CEO Series will be kicking off on Tuesday, Jan. 15, with Ezra Eckhardt, CEO for STCU. The CEO Speakers Series features executive leaders from our region sharing their personal stories of success in an intimate luncheon atmosphere. We are pleased to announce Idaho Central Credit Union will again be our presenting sponsor of the 2019 series.
The 2019 Community Recognition Banquet presented by Numerica Credit Union is slated for Thursday, Jan. 24. This is a special evening where we partner with our nonprofit friends at the Post Falls Food Bank, Post Falls Senior Center, and the Boys & Girls Club of Kootenai County to recognize individuals and businesses that are making a significant impact in our community. It is always heartwarming to hear these stories, and reminds us of why we choose to work, live and play here in Kootenai County.
Looking ahead, our first Connect 4 Lunch in 2019: will be Tuesday, Feb. 19 with keynote speaker Jerry Keane, Superintendent for the Post Falls School District. We are pleased to announce our Business & Education Committee is the lunch sponsor.
Socrates stated it best: “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”
On behalf of the Post Falls Chamber of Commerce, we wish you a wildly successful New Year.
