Truly Honored: A message from Chairman Todd Matherne

This message was originally published in Biz New Orleans.For the past year, I have had the honor and privilege to serve as the chairman of the Jefferson Chamber of Commerce.  At the organization’s annual meeting on January 26, I will pass the gavel to Michael Palamone. I know he will do an outstanding job in 2016.Over the past 12 months, the Chamber — led by Todd Murphy, his excellent staff and a great board of directors — have done some amazing things, leading policy discussion, hosting outstanding events and growing membership for a vibrant business community.  This year the team of board and staff members won the 2015 Louisiana Chamber of the Year. What an accomplishment! Great Job!I also want to thank my entire staff at Renaissance Publishing for allowing me to dedicate so much of my time to this organization.  I have tried to serve the business community well during my term as chairman, and our team of professionals at the office have done a great job moving our company forward in 2015.And finally I want to thank my beautiful wife, Andrea, for her great support and encouragement, not only during my role as chairman but in life.Happy New Year and have a great 2016.Read more of Todd Matherne's Publisher Notes at BizNewOrleans.com.
