What a great time to be a Chamber member and Greater NOLA resident! (come on, you can put up with the Super Bowl traffic for a little longer) It is great to have so many visitors coming to town, let’s do our job to make them feel warm and welcome. With the airport and major interstate highways located in our parish, we’re getting to show off to everyone coming to the city. Make the best of it! Join us on Twitter as we share interactive maps of where visitors can find member hotels, restaurants, Mardi Gras throw providers & more!
Better yet, tell everyone to download MyChamberApp on their Smartphone. This is a FREE app that anyone can use to find LOCAL businesses here. If you are a member of the Jefferson Chamber, you’re in this app. Oh, the things you’ll learn if you stick with us.
Now on to the Chamber updates… Those of you who have been visiting our Facebook, Twitter or website lately have seen some big changes! I have the pleasure of introducing to the rest of you, the new Master Brand Logo of the Jefferson Chamber of Commerce!
Inside the design: This logo represents our organization from 2013, forward. The big and small building represent the different sized businesses we serve, the sunburst to show a new day, new life. If you look closely at the design of the buildings, you can see arrows pointing up at the sky, representing growth of business and our members. The color blue represents business and conservatism while the fonts portray a transition from classic to modern. -A perfect picture of our evolving community.
