3.  New staff

4.  New logo and tag line

5.  New Web site

6.  Soon to be launching the Center for Strategic Partnerships

7.  Renovations to interior and exterior of Chamber Offices

8.  New Tuscarawas County web portal to be   launched in 2009

9.  New and improved events and programs

10. New and improved newsletter and Chamber materials heading your way in 2009

In 2009 we begin the 50th year for the Tuscarawas County Chamber of Commerce.  On  June 16, 1921 the New Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce organized to promote the civic, economic and social welfare of the people of New Philadelphia and vicinity.  On May 21, 1959 at 1:15 pm, at which meeting a quorum of such members present, by the affirmative unanimous vote of the members present a resolution to amend the original Articles of Incorporation the name of the New Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce shall be the Tuscarawas County Chamber of Commerce.  The president was Robert E DeCrane, Secretary was James L. Marple.  The attorney acting on behalf of the organization was James R. Stephenson.

 

As we celebrate our 50th year as the Tuscarawas County Chamber of Commerce I look forward to the continued growth and improvements that we have been experiencing this year.  Tuscarawas County is an amazing place to live, work and play.

 

Happy Holidays!  Please enjoy and safe and happy holiday season.
