Les Saland, President, Central Pasco Chamber of Commerce, discussed the merging of West Pasco Chamber with the Central Pasco Chamber.

Dear Chamber Members;

It is with much excitement that we announce to the members of both the West Pasco and the Central Pasco Chamber of Commerce that the boards voted unanimously on Monday evening to join together to form a new Chamber beginning on July 1, 2019 subject to due diligence by both Chambers Board of Directors.

While there will be much work to do in the next four months we are both excited by the opportunity to provide better services to our members, increased networking and marketing exposure, a larger voice with government and work together to support the growth between Central and West Pasco. Both offices WILL remain open and current staff for both will be retained..

The United Chambers will have over 1,000 businesses as members and through economy of scale will be able to do more not only for the businesses but the communities as well. We will be forming many committees in the next few weeks to form the new United Chamber and its structure.

Les Saland

President, Central Pasco Chamber of Commerce
