2016 INITIATIVE STRONG ECONOMY & BUSINESS CLIMATE
Grand Junction is known as a great place to
live and work. To ensure this stays the case, it is
imperative that we work together to have a
strong economy and business climate.
By interviewing job creators in select industries
to identify challenges and barriers for growth
we can work to provide information and access
to resources that can help solve these issues on
an individual basis. The Chamber will also work
to expand those resources in areas, such as, Air
Service and Broadband in an effort to make
sure the Grand Valley has what the business
community needs. As we do this, monthly
economic updates on the state of the
economy, along with an annual Economic
Summit will continually provide the local
business community with the updates they
need.
In addition, an annual Business Health Care
Summit will work to provide local businesses the
information and resources needed to navigate
today’s ever-changing healthcare industry.

Page 18
2016 INITIATIVE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT & TALENT RECRUITMENT
Workforce is a key to a strong business
community. To ensure our workforce is skilled
and ready to enter the community, programs
such as Hire Me First will work to provide
students with demonstrated technical
proficiencies, 21st century workplace skills, and
job showing experiences that will put them a
step ahead of the rest, while also giving
elective high school credit.
A partnership with the Mesa County Workforce
Center will also provide the opportunity to
pursue third party verification that our
community is ready for job growth through the
ACT Work Ready Community Certification,
giving potential employers another reason to
conduct business here in the Grand Valley.
Leaders are also an important part of the
workforce and it’s never too young to plant the
seeds of success! Our annual Young
Entrepreneurs Academy does just that, offering
middle and high school students the
opportunity to successfully start and run their
own small business and begin building the
foundations for our future business community!

2016 INITIATIVE STANDING UP FOR BUSINESS
Protecting businesses from harmful government
practices, such as, unfair fees and regulations is
a main focus of our Chamber.
By providing regular access to policy-makers at
the local, state, and federal level, a
constructive dialogue can take place between
leaders and the business community, which
leads to a more favorable economic climate.
Through legislative video conferences,
Chamber Days at the State Capitol and local
Chamber events, we can assertively convey
our position with the decision makers that
impact our business community.
In addition, we actively produce regular
updates on current legislation and candidate
endorsements through our Board of Directors,
that will provide the Chamber Membership the
information they need to determine who and
what is standing up for business in our
community!

2016 INITIATIVE STRONG ECONOMY & BUSINESS CLIMATE
Grand Junction is known as a great place to
live and work. To ensure this stays the case, it is
imperative that we work together to have a
strong economy and business climate.
By interviewing job creators in select industries
to identify challenges and barriers for growth
we can work to provide information and access
to resources that can help solve these issues on
an individual basis. The Chamber will also work
to expand those resources in areas, such as, Air
Service and Broadband in an effort to make
sure the Grand Valley has what the business
community needs. As we do this, monthly
economic updates on the state of the
economy, along with an annual Economic
Summit will continually provide the local
business community with the updates they
need.
In addition, an annual Business Health Care
Summit will work to provide local businesses the
information and resources needed to navigate
today’s ever-changing healthcare industry.

2016 INITIATIVE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT & TALENT RECRUITMENT
Workforce is a key to a strong business
community. To ensure our workforce is skilled
and ready to enter the community, programs
such as Hire Me First will work to provide
students with demonstrated technical
proficiencies, 21st century workplace skills, and
job showing experiences that will put them a
step ahead of the rest, while also giving
elective high school credit.
A partnership with the Mesa County Workforce
Center will also provide the opportunity to
pursue third party verification that our
community is ready for job growth through the
ACT Work Ready Community Certification,
giving potential employers another reason to
conduct business here in the Grand Valley.
Leaders are also an important part of the
workforce and it’s never too young to plant the
seeds of success! Our annual Young
Entrepreneurs Academy does just that, offering
middle and high school students the
opportunity to successfully start and run their
own small business and begin building the
foundations for our future business community!

2016 INITIATIVE STANDING UP FOR BUSINESS
Protecting businesses from harmful government
practices, such as, unfair fees and regulations is
a main focus of our Chamber.
By providing regular access to policy-makers at
the local, state, and federal level, a
constructive dialogue can take place between
leaders and the business community, which
leads to a more favorable economic climate.
Through legislative video conferences,
Chamber Days at the State Capitol and local
Chamber events, we can assertively convey
our position with the decision makers that
impact our business community.
In addition, we actively produce regular
updates on current legislation and candidate
endorsements through our Board of Directors,
that will provide the Chamber Membership the
information they need to determine who and
what is standing up for business in our
community!
