The annual meeting was held June 12 at Bulle Rock

The Havre de Grace Chamber of Commerce gathered at Bulle Rock on June 12th for its Annual Meeting to celebrate FY24 accomplishments, share their vision for the future, and of course...network! 


Vice President John Muldoon kicked off the evening, after which President Heather Deno presented the Chamber's many accomplishments over the past year. Ms. Deno credited the Chamber's enhanced level of professionalism for its 20% growth in new Members and 90% membership retention rate, a notably high figure several points above the national average. She went on to detail how introducing new fundamentals and best practices for the organization, aggressively focusing on their mission and Members, and engaging more with the community in the spirit of fellowship all supported these achievements.


Board member Katie Noe (Suited Four, Inc.;The State Theater of Havre de Grace) followed up Ms. Deno's remarks with an overview of the Chamber's Strategic Plan. She explained that the plan provides an effective, measurable roadmap for accomplishing major goals for the organization. The FY24-FY25 goals include launching the new website, further enriching Membership benefits and experiences, and serving as an advocate for local business on a City, County, and State level. Those in attendance were given the opportunity to share their ideas for future activities to enhance Havre de Grace's economic landscape. 


The Havre de Grace Chamber of Commerce wishes to extend our gratitude to Lisa Scott Funeral Home, who sponsored this event.
