The Greater Shelby County Chamber’s new five-year plan, Shelby One, Next Level Up, covers the years 2018-2022 and builds on the success of the Chamber’s most recent campaign: ShelbyOne (2013-2017), which concluded at the end of 2017 and included expanded programs in the areas of Business Development and Support, Community and Workforce Development, Governmental Relations and Marketing of the County and the organization. ShelbyOne – Next Level Up!, developed by business and community leaders from throughout the County, continues the Chamber’s collaborative partnerships with public and private sector leaders working together to assist in growth for existing businesses, career readiness, business advocacy and direct involvement with recruiting “new to market” retail, commercial and industry throughout Shelby County. “We’ve accomplished quite a bit over the past five years, but this new and expanded program of work takes our Chamber to the next level,” explained Chamber President & CEO Kirk Mancer, adding “With the exceptionally strong leadership, from both the private and the public sector signing on to lend their endorsement of these initiatives, we’re excited about the direction we’re headed.” The campaign is being co-chaired by Alex Dudchock, Shelby County Manager and Mike Thompson, CEO of Thompson Tractor Company and President of Fairway Investments.
