Farewell from the Chairman
by Billy Thompson, All Star Movers
In January, Joan Fletcher of Winning Ways Inc. will
be installed as the new Chairman of the VTRCC. Joan
and I have worked closely together over the last
year and a half and I am very confident that the
Chamber will continue to grow and prosper under her
leadership and talent! The 2005-2006 board has
worked as a unit to provide a growing and stable
organization:
• VTRCC luncheons and mixers have been fantastic
with great topics and speakers, and record-setting
attendance.
• Our work with NonProfits has been tremendous;
there are now more than 25 members of the
NonProfit Committee.
• The “How-To Series” has prospered, educating us
on various professional topics.
• Fundraising Committee Chair Tana Keeffe led us in
social events that provided the capital needed to
continue our outstanding services.
• Membership has grown, especially at Tysons
Corner, but the Chamber continues to maintain
a “hometown” feeling.
• The 60th Annual Halloween Parade was an
extraordinary event.
All of this could not have been possible without
Chamber President Diane Poldy and Office
Manager/Director of Events, Toni Antonucci. In just
their first year on the job, they’ve demonstrated
promising leadership and dedication. I would also like
to thank the members and volunteers for their
enthusiasm. I have been proud to serve and
represent our Chamber and look forward to seeing
you at future events!
