Dear Members of the Pitman Business Community – 

As we finish up 2019, I want to wish you Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year!  I am extremely excited to take over as the President of the Greater Pitman Chamber of Commerce effective December 26, 2019.  2019 was a busy year for the GPCC.

• We expanded the Pitman Bucks Program to twice a year, which resulted in an infusion of $21,500 into the local economy;
• We started offering social media grants to GPCC Members to assist them in marketing and developing their online presence;
• We sponsored over thirty events (30), including our Second Year of the Summer Swelter Craft Beer Fest, which brought customers into Pitman and contributed to the continuation of positive publicity of Pitman;
• We began to administer a private Facebook Group to better connect with GPCC Members and also Livestreamed GPCC monthly meetings for those members who are unable to attend in-person.
• We supported Pitman’s Farmers & Artisan Market – Laurel Market Pitman – which had a very successful first year.
• We celebrated the completion of the long-awaited Theatre Avenue project!

We recently had our transition meeting of both the old and new Board Members and have some exciting plans for 2020, which include:

• Offering a new grant for business recruitment and continuing to offer façade and social media grants.
• Establishing weekly office hours at the Pitman Gallery & Art Center for our Chamber Treasurer, Jenny Mazzola.   Starting in January, you can stop in and see Jenny from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays. Jenny is excited to have this dedicated time to work on the Pitman Bucks Programs and GPCC Sponsorships.
• Continuing to expand and improve our current list of special events with plans to integrate our wonderful new space on Theatre Avenue.
• Streamlining and integrating our social media presence and creating additional promotional opportunities for our businesses on the Uptown Pitman Facebook page.

We look forward to working with the Pitman business community in 2020 and hope to see you at our next regularly scheduled meeting. We meet on the third Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Pitman Gallery & Art Center.

Sincerely,
Patrick Bradley
President
Greater Pitman Chamber of Commerce

We note that for those members who paid their dues on a rolling basis, if you paid in October 2017 or later, you will be considered a sponsor at the Bronze level.
