Dear Jesse:

Thanks to your efforts we have had an unprecedented year for Small Business. The hard work of the CH.A.S.E. team has positioned Small Business as a Leader in Chamber Activities.

Small Business Issues was a significant component of this success. Never before has the Chamber State Consensus Agenda reflected such emphasis on small business. Your involvement in the city’s Technology Council and the creation of the Small Business Survey on our web site ensured the small business voice be heard.

The most rewarding aspect of this year has been working with dedicated volunteers. The success of our year is a result of a group of dedicated small business advocates making a difference. Thank you for a wonderful year.

Sincerely,

Susan Hartley, Chair  Chamber Alliance for Small Enterprises	Bob Baldwin, Vice President Chamber Alliance for Small Enterprises
