On a final note, I want to thank our young professionals for all that they do to help promote the MIDJersey Chamber of Commerce. You are the future of our business community and our chamber. The energy and leadership capabilities you possess are tremendous. I encourage you to find a mentor and have them lend their experience and expertise to you.
It is important that we all take an active role in our future leaders for our chamber and the business com- munity at large.
I will close as I have each of my other columns: I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event or meet- ing. Make the most of your chamber membership.
Best,
Stacy Mattia
