President's Viewpoint
Happy New Year! As we embark on another year and one that surely has to be better than the last two, I take stock in 2010 and what made us thrive. It’s simple, it’s you, our members. It’s no secret how challenging times have been but you remain focused and determined to make your mark. We appreciate your time and hard work all while continuing to help the CCC succeed and grow.

In 2010, we continued to experience an increase in event and program attendance. While having more people engaged in the chamber strengthens our organization, it also means more voices with more ideas. We are counting on that—we want to hear from you.
I am optimistic that the CCC will continue to grow and enhance its capacity to serve the businesses community. The staff and the board of directors are ready to meet these challenges and exceed your expectations.

Besides all of you, I would be remiss if I didn’t thank some specific members that have partnered with the CCC over the last year. Our organization is incredibly fortunate to work with a number of companies that support our efforts. I extend our gratitude to the 2010 programming sponsors & partners in the list that follows and wish the entire Cambridge community nothing but success and good fortune in 2011!

Best in business,
Kelly Thompson Clark
