The Chambers re-development committee is representing our members and always trying to reduce any negative impact to our business community. We enjoy a good relationship with the Mayor and Council, the Borough Manager and Project Engineers and they keep us in the loop of any new developments in and around town. Our Liaison Committee meets at least once a month with the Borough Manager where we bring our concerns to light and find solutions to them. The Borough Manager also brings us up to speed on all relevant information for the business community.

 The Lodi Chamber is also extending its reach to other towns in Bergen County through the Inter-Chamber Consortium. We belong to the Board of the ICC which is now comprised of 10 Chambers and growing. Together with the ICC we can help our members expanding into other towns and help them sit with local Chamber Directors for help with the local government and the feasability of the new venture.

 I would like to take this opportunity to welcome our new members and thank our membershipas a whole for their support and as always we are looking for members to step up and become part of one of our committees. Lodi has a lot of talented businessmen and women and we look forward to seeing them get more involved.

 In closing I hope we all enjoy a prosperous business year and together make Lodi a better place to do business and a wonderful place to visit and live in.

  Thank you,
  Charles Pinto
  President
