I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you that during these unprecedented times have stepped up and helped TLACC continue to thrive.  Our chamber has continued the advocacy work for all its members.  In the last few months we have been able to reach many of you with relevant and timely information through our Brown Bag Lunch Series.  We continue to build additional content in the virtual world with the intent of bringing to you a much more diverse programming.  Soon we will be announcing a joint venture with the Tennessee Performing Art Center, so please be on the lookout for the announcement.  Over the summer we have also been working on a new web platform that will give our members and affiliates a more robust website with new interactive features and  tons of additional information.  We believe that this project will help connect our member businesses to the broader market place in a way never done before.  To those entrepreneurs and business owners that are struggling to keep doors open, know that we are here to help you in what ever way we can.  So as always, please reach out to us if there is anything we can assist you with.   Rest assured that as soon as we are physically able to safely reconnect in person we will do just that.  See you soon.

Victor Berrios – TLACC President
