Thank you for the warm welcome and congratulations on being
elected as your President! I am thrilled to be part of this new
induction of the Board of Directors and excited to work alongside
you to achieve our goals for the Italian American Chamber of
Commerce of Michigan.

Our vision of growth in membership and expanding our committees
with new members’ involvement is truly inspiring. It is through a
diverse and engaged membership base that we can foster innovation,
collaboration, and ultimately create a stronger community within
our Chamber. As the newly appointed President, I would like to
share my vision for the upcoming year.

One focus is to further expand our membership base, attracting
professionals from diverse backgrounds who can bring fresh
perspectives and ideas to the table. By increasing our membership,
we can broaden our reach and influence, ensuring a greater impact
on our community.

In addition to membership growth, I strongly believe in the power
of committees and their ability to drive meaningful change. I plan
on actively encouraging new members to get involved in our
committees, offering them opportunities to contribute their unique
skills and expertise. This diverse engagement will not only enhance
the quality of our committee work but also foster collaboration and
innovation within our organization.

I am committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment
where all members feel valued and empowered. I believe that by
incorporating new voices and perspectives, we can develop a
comprehensive strategy that addresses the needs and aspirations
of our members. Together, we will strive for excellence and work
towards achieving our collective goals.

I am confident that with my leadership, and the guidance of those who came before me, we will be able to bring new ideas
and initiatives to the table. As we embark on this new year, let
us remember the importance of collaboration and inclusivity. By
actively seeking input from all members and encouraging their
active participation, we can tap into a wealth of knowledge and
experience that will propel our Chamber forward.

I look forward to working closely with you and the rest of the
Board to develop and implement strategies that will bring added
value to our members. Together, we will create opportunities,
foster connections, and promote the growth of Italian American
businesses in Michigan.

Once again, congratulations to the new Officers and Board of
Directors, and here’s to a successful and fulfilling year ahead for
the Italian American Chamber of Commerce of Michigan!

Charles Moran,
President
