Background
Throughout 2024, the Chamber engaged more than 400 individuals across the public, private and philanthropic sectors through interviews, focus groups and surveys. Community feedback was paired with in-depth analysis from Economic Leadership, Inc., a nationally recognized economic development consulting firm. Informed by these insights, the Chamber board identified the PATH’s key priorities and adopted a first-year action plan, along with updated vision and mission statements to sharpen the organization’s strategic focus.
