Chamber President: Communication is Key

Lisa Parrelli Gray, president of the Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce, told the Westport Rotary Club today the Chamber and Westport residents “need to communicate with one another to keep the community vibrant.” “Westporters are passionate and vocal,” she said, citing the example of Great Cakes. When word got to the community that the Post Road East bakery was in financial trouble, local residents instantly lined up to help, she said. Gray said one way the Chamber fosters these relationships is through partnering with the many local businesses and nonprofit organizations to create joint programs and events that support communications. “It’s all about relationships,” she said. “The best part of my job is meeting people.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
