2019 NORTH MASON COUNTY GUIDE • northmasonchamber.com | 3 | by Pam Volz, Chairman of the Board
WELCOME to 2019! As I start my two-year term as the Chamber Chairman, we have an exciting new development to announce. We are establishing the North Mason Chamber Foundation, a separate 501©3 organization, to serve our community. I am extremely thankful that we have a collaborative relationship with regional Pam Volz, Chairman chambers and our Mason Economic of the Board; Business Solutions Development Council (EDC) to assist our Coordinator PacMtn Chamber as we move forward on this WDC & WorkSource endeavor. While managed by our Chamber, our Foundation will have a separate board of directors and bylaws, governed by a three-pronged objective dedicated to long-term economic development, something that I find extremely valuable to our members and community. We will seek partnerships and programs that attract new business, provide ongoing business training and ensure future beautification of our area. With my daily work in workforce development with the Pacific Mountain Workforce Development Council and the Mason EDC, I am so proud to be part of this venture and will be very active in the growth of North Mason. Look for announcements about this exciting effort in the months ahead, all in support of economic vitality and healthy communities throughout Rural Mason County.
