Jim Collins said in his book Good To Great that it is imperative to “face the brutal facts.”  During 2014, we as a region have repeatedly illuminated the economic challenges we face.  In my mind, it’s time to get to work, which is exactly what the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce is planning to do in 2015 and beyond.  This Chamber (YOUR Chamber) is the region’s premier business organization; helping our members succeed, driving economic growth and enhancing the quality of life of our community’s residents.  In short, we set the conditions which allow businesses to succeed.
