Special Announcement 

 

Cuyahoga Falls Chief Executive Officer, Laura Petrella has stepped down from her role on Feb 8th after over 25 years serving her community. She will be replaced immediately by interim Executive Director, Kamelia D. Fisher while an extensive search for her permanent replacement commences.

 

Although her departure was unexpected, the Board of Directors fully supported her decision and wish Petrella all the best in future endeavors.

 

Laura’s tireless work has allowed for the development of a nationally recognized organization that is the model for Chambers across the country. Her relationships with thousands of business owners and dedication to the City are unmatched. Laura is leaving the chamber on a very firm footing that has allowed us to weather the current challenges and look confidently ahead.

 

In a letter to the Chamber Board, Laura called it the “honor and privilege of a lifetime to serve our businesses and community” and went on to say how grateful she was to spend this time with the Chamber making it one of the best Chambers in northeast Ohio. She also expressed respect for our Chamber and the board. Chamber Board President, Kathy Romito, indicated the appreciation for Laura’s many, successful years of service at the helm of the Chamber. She went on to say that the board is committed to keeping our events and meetings as scheduled and maintaining “business as usual” during this time of transition. We appreciate our members’ and communities support and confidence and we look forward to moving ahead in a positive direction.

 

We are pleased to introduce our new Interim Executive Director, Kamelia Fisher. Kamelia has an extensive background in Non-Profit Management. She is respected for helping organizations innovate, thrive and grow. Additionally, she is known for optimizing resources to achieve their core mission by earning the confidence of key stake holders and establishing a positive and enthusiastic culture.

 

Kamelia brings to the Chamber a wealth of knowledge including repositioning organizations for success, budget and fiscal management, negotiation and consensus building as well as strategic planning and vision.

 

Her previous experience includes Executive Director positions at One of Kind Pets, Summit Artspace, Big Brothers Big Sisters and Roscoe Village.

 

The Board of Directors is excited to engage Kamelia’s leadership during this time of transition. This opportunity allows the chamber to take a closer look at the chamber offerings and what matters to its members. As the membership organization, the chamber belongs to you and we want to hear from you.

 

Member input is important now more than ever. Please reach out to Kamelia Fisher by phone 330-808-0032 (mobile) or directly to the office at 330-929-6756. Also, you can email her at director@cfchamber.com.

 

Additionally, you recently received a survey link of questions for the Chamber’s Strategic Plan. Rest assured, this is completely confidential and no identifying information is included. We want to hear the truth- good, bad and ugly. We want to make the chamber reflect the needs of our members and we cannot do that without input from each of you.

 

The survey link can be found here. Again, you will not be connected with your answers.

Let’s work together to make YOUR chamber what you need and want.

 

Sincerely,

Kathy Romito

President, Board of Directors

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY

  • What I like most about my Chamber of Commerce is I love my Wednesday Goldmine Group. It’s not just networking, It’s FUN! I have had the opportunity to do business with AG PrintPromo Solutions who is currently working on my new job center name tags and Cricket has been great to work with. One good experience I have had with the Chamber is definitely the Goldmine Groups.

  • Some 18 years ago when I opened my business, a fellow businesswoman suggested I check out the Cuyahoga Falls Chamber of Commerce. She took me to one of the Luncheons, and I was instantly impressed with the number of local businesses that attended as well as the networking that was available. I joined immediately and, over the years, have gained so much from this organization. I have learned many helpful ideas for running my business, received discounts on worker’s compensation and health insurance, made lifelong friendships and received business from the members. My business is located in the city of Cuyahoga Falls so it was important to me to belong to the Chamber, but equally important were the benefits the Chamber could provide. I will continue to support and volunteer for the Cuyahoga Falls Chamber of Commerce, and I encourage other business owners to do the same.

  • I love the people in our Chamber! Also, all the opportunities to network and be on committees (Goldmine, Falls After 5, Coffee and Contacts) helped me get to know everyone. I have had lots of opportunity to do business with fellow Chamber of Commerce Members. This Chamber has helped me grow my business, make friends, allowed me to give of myself and my time to our community and feel successful!

  • I can’t say enough about Laura Petrella and the Cuyahoga Falls Chamber of Commerce. Becoming a Chamber member has provided me with tremendous opportunities that have directly resulted in the growth and development of my business. The Chamber has also played an important role in my becoming the “go to” person for music in my community. As a result of my membership with the Cuyahoga Falls Chamber of Commerce and my participation in meetings and events, my business has grown exponentially and I have developed lasting relationships with many wonderful people.

  • In today’s business world networking is vital for your success. The Cuyahoga Falls Chamber of Commerce has done a tremendous job of giving me face-time with people in our community who otherwise I may not have met. The networking benefit alone is worth the price of admission!!

  • The Cuyahoga Falls Chamber of Commerce has been instrumental in building relationships, strengthening my brand, and building my reputation. There are so many opportunities to get to know other members; I typically attend 7 or 8 events each month. If you do business in Cuyahoga Falls then you should join the chamber and BE ACTIVE.

  • We have been Chamber members since starting our home-based business, Wellness and Wealth by Choice, nearly six years ago. Our mission is to be a path or solution to that small voice inside everyone who is looking to have more out of life. The many events and programs the Chamber offers have helped us become a household name to many people and businesses in the area. By being active Chamber members, we have developed many business contacts and valued friendships. We will continue to support the Chamber, be active and encourage others to do the same.

  • The Goldmine group that I am in has helped me in a number of ways. I have made some great contacts with fellow members who have helped me with questions I’ve had regarding technology, service contracts, and insurance. It has helped open business opportunities as well. Just as importantly, Goldmine has helped me learn about other members’ businesses in detail, providing me with a professional network to which I can refer people when they need products or services.

  • My Chamber membership has been beneficial to me in several ways. Promoting my business to other members and getting referrals from them. Doing business with other members and getting great service and pricing from them. Developing so many friendships that I would not have made otherwise. I love being involved with the community of Cuyahoga Falls.

  • The Cuyahoga Falls Chamber has been very beneficial to me. When I first started with Neoshred, I had no idea how to make connections and drive business. Going to the chamber luncheons, after 5 events, goldmine groups, and much more! I felt like I belonged and I made great connections and even better friendships!

  • I have been a Chamber member since I started LightHouse Promotions (now REDfish Promotions) 8 years ago. It was one of the best decisions I made to help me get started on the right foot as a new business. I invested myself right away in the Chamber and got involved. I made friends and a little bit of money too:) RED the Promotions Fish has become our recognized brand, making a BIG splash with the help of the Cuyahoga Falls Chamber of Commerce.

  • Goldmine has been great for me and my business. It’s helped me to get to know other members within the chamber and develop professional relationships that have been very beneficial. By thinking of the other members in my Goldmine group as my sales force instead of sales prospects I’ve taken a different approach to how I use my 30-second commercials within the group. If you’re a Chamber member and want to build strong relationships with a tight-knit group of people while developing your own sales force, why wouldn’t you join a Goldmine Group?
