Program of Work

2005

For 2005 it will be business as usual for the Wayne Area Chamber of Commerce as we will continue to focus on our six primary objectives which include; Promoting the Community, Encouraging Success in Business, Looking Out for the Interests of Business, Facilitating Partnerships, and Educating Concerning Business Topics.

Over the next year, we will also promote economic development for both our city and rural areas. We will continue our efforts in securing viable funding sources for the Chamber of Commerce, retention of current businesses in the community, attracting new business to the community, adding new member to the Chamber of Commerce, investing in programs that promote education, agribusiness, and community leadership (believing that the quality of people in our communities will ultimately determine our area's future success). 

Over the next year we will continue our efforts in combining the Wayne Area Chamber of Commerce, Wayne Industries Inc., and Wayne Main Street under one umbrella to insure the financial health of organizations, elimination of duplicative services and selecting one full-time director of this new highbred organization.  When the proposed plan for reorganization of our three organizations is established each of the three original organization's membership will vote on the proposal prior to it's' implementation.  The membership of each organization will determine if the proposed mergers put into place.
