Kick off the new year with connection, insight, and a look ahead at what’s shaping our local economy.
Join us for a Tourism Update with Kristen Keltz and the Skagit Tourism Bureau, featuring insights into current travel trends, regional marketing efforts, and what’s ahead for tourism in Skagit County. Kristen will also share results from the Rural Tourism Support Program and provide an update on the Destination Development Plan, highlighting how these initiatives are shaping visitor experiences and strengthening local communities. The presentation will also touch on increased attention on Washington State from major national and global events, and what that means for local businesses preparing for future opportunities.
In addition, Steph, Chamber CEO/President, will share an update on the Chamber's Strategic Plan, outlining priorities, progress, and how we’re continuing to support and strengthen our business community in the year ahead.
We’ll enjoy a delicious catered lunch from Avenue Catering, making this a perfect opportunity to network, learn, and engage with fellow members and community leaders.
