David's BlogWednesday, January 16, 2013Promoting Our Shining City
The
Chamber is an unwavering and enthusiastic advocate for our beloved
community. I am not trying to impress you. I am simply trying to impress
upon you that promoting our fair city is a big part of what we do.
Actually,
promoting Duluth is an easy job. It is a delight. We have an abundance
of compelling attributes which the Chamber is quick to highlight to
visitors and to prospective Duluthians. Duluth is a vibrant community,
filled with remarkable people and places. We enjoy an extraordinary city
that supports, cares for and creates opportunities for all of our
citizens.
It
is our privilege to annually produce and distribute the embodiment of
our promotional efforts in one convincing wealth of information, our
Duluth Area Business & Community Guide. We are good at producing it.
Each year, we distribute 6,000 copies of the guide. We will soon
complete and distribute our 143rd annual guide. That is correct, the
Chamber produced our first guide in 1870.
The
guide clearly conveys a hearty welcome to those who have arrived on our
shores. And, these are no ordinary shores. Duluth triumphantly rises
from the Greatest of the Great Lakes, Lake Superior.
We
let visitors and prospective community members know that if they are
considering making our city their home or place of business, wait no
longer. We are ready to help them settle in for a few years or for a
lifetime.
Additionally,
we let our readers know this is one of the most productive places they
are ever going to experience. We have talented individuals who take
pride in working hard and contributing to the success of local
businesses. We also let them know we are ready to showcase Duluth. We
believe the more they know about the world's largest, farthest, inland
seaport the more they will be drawn to it.
It
is a pleasure to promote this big city with a small town personality;
this rugged outpost with a cosmopolitan flair. With a fascinating
history and a heritage as a hard-working industrial town, we have
balanced and diversified our industrial roots with tourism, health care,
technology and education. Additionally, our growing reputation in the
aviation industry illustrates that the sky is the limit for Duluth.
We
are thankful that prospective Duluthians and visitors routinely connect
with us. It is an honor to represent you and our community when they
do. Promoting our Shining City is a responsibility that we savor.
In support,
