President’s Corner

As president of the Santa Fe Springs Chamber, I welcome you to the start of the 2023-2024 year.

We have all heard that “it takes a village,” and this has never been more true as we navigate the waters of constant change and its resulting challenges and opportunities.

A key benefit our chamber “village” offers its members is fellowship – fellowship that can result in building community, improving processes and increasing profit. By building and investing in our business community, we are investing in our own growth.

Our chamber leadership team is constantly brainstorming, evaluating and innovating to ensure a lineup of events and programs that benefit its members. That strategic focus will continue as we kick off the new chamber year this month.

I am honored to be able to serve as your president. I know that in the year ahead, the leadership team will make some great decisions, some good decisions and likely a few mistakes. However, every choice will be made with the intention of benefiting you, our member.

As the Director of Business Development at Rose Hills Memorial Park & Mortuary, where I’ve worked for more than 40 years, I have seen firsthand the power of community. I encourage each of you to partner with chamber leadership and share feedback and strategies on how this village can best continue to be a vibrant, successful one.

Finally, I would like to thank Past President Daniel O’Marah for his leadership. Thank you, also, to the Santa Fe Spring Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and the Chamber Staff for their guidance and support.

Together, let’s make this year a great one.
Bruce A. Lazenby
