    Good evening, I am Steve Lyle and I am honored to serve as your 2024 president of the Nederland Chamber Board.  Thank you all for coming out tonight.  I told Diana that hell would freeze over before I’d be Chamber president, well….. 

    But thank you for braving the elements and coming to the 82nd Annual Nederland Chamber of Commerce installation banquet.  Many of you have been on the board and some of have stood here as president and I thank you for your service and dedication to make the Chamber what it is today.

    As Sue has said tonight, there are many events that the Chamber sponsors and is involved in that make Nederland a stronger community, like Trunk ‘R Treat and the Christmas Parade.  The Monthly Networking Coffees are a great opportunity for businesses to network and learn from each other about ways to grow and develop.  We promote businesses with our Sip and Shop events as a way to showcase your business.  And many more ways we help build your business.

    We are constantly looking for ways to implement our Mission Statement that calls for us to promote the civic, economic, industrial, educational, and social welfare of the people of Nederland and Nederland Territory.  The Nederland Chamber is promoting the City of Nederland’s Municipal Government Academy 101 which allows participants to learn more about how the city works and can help you as a business.  For more information, visit the City of Nederland website.

    The Nederland Economic Development Corporation, the EDC, offers grants for improvements to your businesses and SBA Small Business Loans for those who qualify.  The Nederland Chamber is constantly looking for ways to make connections with other entities to help your business.

    Our family business, Texas Coffee Company, has been involved with the Nederland Chamber for many years and we have been a part of many of these events.  I have been a part of the board since 2007 and have seen this Chamber grow in so many ways. 

    This year, as your president, I will do everything I can to promote the members of the Chamber to grow and prosper and also to increase our membership to make Nederland a great place to live, to work and to play.

     

    Best Regards,

    Steve Lyle
