SALISBURY — The Rowan Chamber of Commerce announced the successful conclusion of its “Run for the Roses” Total Resource Campaign for new members, calling it a success in a Wednesday press release.
The campaign reportedly exceeded expectations, bringing in 33 new members. New member investments totaled $11,550, which was above the target of $10,500.
At the Rowan Chamber’s campaign finale on Monday evening, Starling Johnson Kaklamanos, chamber chair of the board, and campaign chair Dr. Christine Lynn, who was recently named the next president of the Rowan Chamber of Commerce, recognized the top producers of the campaign. Leading the way as the top producer was Lynn. In second place was Donna Groce, director of life long learning at Trinity Oaks, followed by Jodi Bailey, director of marketing and communications at Catawba College, in third.
The top team was “Secretariat,” led by Maria Rodriguez and Lynn.
“The success of this campaign reflects the power of relationships and community engagement. Every new member represents an opportunity to connect, collaborate and grow together. I am incredibly appreciative of our campaign volunteers and supporters who helped advance the chamber’s mission and expand our impact across Rowan County,” said Lynn.
Campaign volunteers who brought in new members, renewals or sponsorships were rewarded with prizes during the campaign.
“The chamber extends its sincere thanks to Salisbury Elks Lodge, Macy’s Inc. and Complete Well-Care Source for their generous prize donations, which helped make the campaign even more successful,” the release said. “The Rowan Chamber thanks the many volunteers, sponsors and supporters who helped make this year’s campaign a success. Their commitment to strengthening the local business community enables the chamber to continue providing valuable programs, advocacy and opportunities for businesses throughout Rowan County.”
