Hello Chamber Members!

My name is Jeff Dupont, and I am honored to introduce myself as the new CEO of our community’s Chamber of Commerce. It’s an exciting time to step into this role, and I am eager to meet each of you and learn more about the goals, challenges, and opportunities that lie ahead for our business community.

One of my main priorities as CEO is to serve you—the members—and work alongside you to find new ways to help your business thrive. My goal is to ensure that the Chamber and I provide you with the tools, resources, and advocacy needed to grow and succeed. Whether it’s increasing your visibility, creating valuable networking opportunities, or advocating on your behalf, we are here to help elevate your business.

I encourage you to connect with me personally. I am interested in hearing about your business goals, any obstacles you may be facing, and learning how the Chamber can better support you. As we move forward, I want to ensure that the programs and services we offer are aligned with your needs. Whether you're a long-standing member or just beginning to engage with us, your input is invaluable in shaping the future direction of our Chamber.

In addition to focusing on business growth, it’s also essential that we stay informed and active in shaping our local business environment. The upcoming election will provide an opportunity to impact policies that affect our business community. I strongly encourage you to take the time to learn about the candidates and policies that will be on the ballot. By exercising your right to vote, you are helping to shape a business climate that works in your favor.

The Chamber will continue to provide resources and information to keep you informed about critical issues that impact local businesses. We are committed to ensuring that your voice is heard at all levels of government, and we will remain dedicated to advocating for policies that support a strong and vibrant business community.

Finally, I encourage you to explore all the programs and services the Chamber has to offer. Whether it’s our networking events, professional development opportunities, or business resources, we are here to help you succeed. Please join me at the Business After Hours at 1st Southwest Bank in Durango at 5pm on Thursday, October 17!

Thank you for being part of the Chamber of Commerce, and I look forward to meeting you, working together, and driving success for our business community!

In health, 

Jeff Dupont
Chief Executive Officer
Durango Chamber of Commerce
