I
hope this letter finds you in good spirits and thriving in your respective endeavors. I am writing to address a matter of importance and to share some updates regarding our beloved Chamber.
Clarification Regarding Recent Information:
Firstly, I want to extend my sincere gratitude for your membership and commitment to the Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce. Recently, it has come to our attention that there are circulating rumors, specifically a recent blog post, suggesting a merger between the Morro Bay Chamber and the San Luis Obispo Chamber. I wish to clarify unequivocally that this information is not accurate. It is no secret that in recent years we have had conversations with neighboring chambers about possible consolidation of efforts. However, no such merger is taking place at this time. We continue to operate as an independent entity dedicated to serving our community.
In the future, if there were earnest consideration of a merger both chambers would make their membership aware and seek their input.
Your thoughts, questions, and concerns are invaluable to us. Please feel free to reach out via email or call me directly. As the 2024 chairperson, my door is always open to you, and I am here to listen and address any matters you may bring forth.
The Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce was established in 1956. We are proud to have served the business community for almost 70 years. We have a dedicated staff and strong partnerships throughout the Central Coast. Our Chamber has one of the highest membership retention rates in the industry. We look forward to continuing to serve the needs of the businesses in Morro Bay.
The 2024 Chamber Board comprises 12 dedicated volunteers, each hailing from diverse segments of the Morro Bay business community. We are focused on enhancing our operations in line with the valuable insights gained from our member surveys. This ensures the continuation of the
high-quality service our members have grown to expect and value. I assure you, any improvements we consider will be deeply rooted in member participation and feedback.
In closing, I want to reiterate my appreciation for your commitment to the Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce. Together, we will continue to foster a vibrant and prosperous business community and I look forward to seeing you soon at an upcoming chamber event.
Cherise Hansson
2024 Chairperson
Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce
