Happy New Year from our President

Happy New Year! As we step into 2024, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your continued support and engagement. Since taking on the role of president last spring, it’s been a privilege to work alongside such a dynamic business community. 

In this era of rapid technological advancements and AI, the value of personal connections remains paramount. You’ve all wonderfully disproved the post-COVID skepticism about in-person gatherings. Our events like the Lunch & Learn sessions, the Orange Sunrise Breakfast, and the 2024 Economic Outlook have consistently seen full houses, underscoring the critical role our Chamber plays in networking and knowledge sharing. 

A heartfelt thank you to our board members, and to all our member companies, your engagement is the cornerstone of our Chamber’s strength and diversity.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to hit the ground running in 2024 with the opening of Xebia’s new North American headquarters and our January Lunch & Learn on how the Corporate Transparency Act could affect your business. Following that, we are planning a full year of relevant and interesting Chamber events to keep you and your business connected and prepared in 2024. 

Here’s to a year of continued collaboration, growth, and success in whatever form it may come!

Wishing you all a prosperous and Happy New Year!

Sebastian van der Vegt – President
