Message From the President

2015 has been a very successful year for the Steinbach Chamber of Commerce.  We continue to see our membership grow and participate in levels never seen before.  This increase along with the diversity of businesses joining the Chamber has led to vibrant and modern chamber that is embracing change.

At the beginning of the year, during our board strategic planning session, the Chamber identified three priorities for the next three years.

The first priority was to be sustainable.  This will be done by continuing to look for diversified sources of income for the Chamber.  Through this we hope to be able offer more programs and support to our Chamber Members and the community.

The next priority was to increase our relevancy and value to the Chamber Members and community at large.  To improve in these areas, we are constantly asking ourselves, “Why am I a member?”, “What, as a member, do I know the Chamber does?” and “Is my Chamber membership a good business expense?”.  By keeping these questions in mind at board meetings and throughout the year we develop the action plans of the Chamber.

The final priority was to fulfill the mandate of the Chamber Mission Statement.  Our mission is to unite and represent Steinbach and area businesses, in the belief that the resulting economic growth and stability provides an enhanced quality of life for the entire community.  With every decision we make we want to keep building on our mission.

We look forward to continuing to work with our members in the upcoming year to realize these goals.
