Engaging Highlands | Highlands Chamber of Commerce
Written By: Kaye McHan | Issue: 2021/10 – October
While celebrating the successes of 2021, the Highlands Chamber of Commerce is peering into the future and navigating our way through this confounding decade.
Everybody who enjoyed 2021’s summer outdoor concerts, raise your glass! Those performances were about an 11 on a 10 point scale, right?
Are you enjoying harvest and Halloween celebrations this month? Say, “Yeah, Baybay!”
And what about the Christmas Tree Lighting and Parade that quickly follows? That’s all kinds of Ho Ho Ho, and away we go!
Hopefully you know you’re shouting for the Highlands Chamber of Commerce. Without the Chamber, the Plateau would be clue-less and do-less … and maybe even without you-less.
The Chamber and Visit Highlands engage the community every year, every season, every day. Not to mention working with our local governments and business community or our communication about what’s happening in Highlands; delivering news and updates on the pandemic; making announcements about urgent weather; emergency information. Give a shout-out for all those who make those important events happen – whether it’s planning for the future by studying the latest stats for growth or helping control environmental impact.
Kaye McHan, Chamber Executive Director, says, “We serve as the manager of Highlands experiences for residents, businesses, and visitors through planning for the future by considering social, economic, cultural, and environmental risks and opportunities. This approach enables us to engage and serve as a collaborator for a productive, resilient, inclusive, and sustainable community that creates value for residents, businesses, and visitors.”
The assets provided through Visit Highlands, NC and the Chamber’s work is integral to economic development and is a key driver to maintaining economic stability. Our work supports local jobs and prosperity for Highlands and plays a role in building the reputation of our community as a viable place to live and invest.
The Highlands Chamber of Commerce and Visit Highlands, NC wants to engage and collaborate with you, the residents, businesses, and government because together we retain our high quality, locally derived (unique) and innovative way of life as the Highlands community.
