CHAMBER BUSINESS CONNECTION 12
2017 CHAMBER PRESIDENT
" When our Chamber members are successful , our entire community will be successful ."
It is an honor and privilege to be the incoming President of our Chamber of Commerce . Many of you know me as I ' ve been involved with the Chamber for many years and work at Eldorado Scioto Downs . For those who do not , I would like to introduce myself and tell you what I intend to accomplish this year .
I am a native of Mississippi and have traveled around this great country for the past 15 years . I am an alumnus of Louisiana State University having graduated in 2004 . I was lucky enough to meet my wife Jessica in one of the places that I have worked and have 2 beautiful children Jacob , 5 , and Emma , 3 . I have always felt the need to help people . I somehow got into the entertainment industry after several years in the restaurant industry and spent 7 years working at casinos in California , then 2 years with a casino in New Mexico , then finally the last 4 plus years at Eldorado Scioto Downs in Ohio . 13 years later , and I am still in the entertainment industry .
Now I want to help you , our members , get the most out of your membership and make your membership work the best for you . To help connect you with the community ; to help with the ever changing business laws and policies ; and to help grow your business and promote the Grove City Area to the fullest , because when our Chamber members are successful , our entire community will be successful .
In conclusion , I look forward to the next year and am excited about meeting new people and continuing the traditions of the Chamber . I invite any and all feedback and ideas . Please feel free to e-mail me at myip @ sciotodowns . com . I appreciate your membership and here is to a great 2017 !
- Michael Yip , 2017 Chamber President
