Back in the Black
More than just an AC/DC song, it’s a shout out for celebration as MCC returns to a black-operating budget after four plus years in the red.
With the success of the Get Linked Expo, Annual Gala, and other event and membership initiatives, the Madison County Chamber generated an additional $80,000 in gross revenues and realized $10,000 in cost savings in less than six months.
“I am thrilled to advance into the new year with a stable budget, a diversified board of directors, and a motivated staff to inspire economic growth,“ says Kyle Morey. “If the chamber can find success in our current economy, then anyone can.”
Additional successes include adding Angela Barbosa and Amy Debiak to the team, rotating board meetings around the county, increasing attendance at events, achieving 3 million impressions for Madison County, improving internal processes, doubling social media and press coverage, building regional relationships in 19 counties, and studying commerce in China.
“2011 is here. Let’s make some noise!” – Kyle Morey
