Santee Chamber Weekly Update 16JAN26

Hello Santee!

Today, the Santee Chamber of Commerce held an inspiring Board of Directors Retreat at the beautiful Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve. The setting created an ideal environment for thoughtful conversation, collaboration, and strategic planning as we look ahead to an exciting year for the Chamber.

A sincere thank you to Cory Kading and the entire Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve team for graciously hosting our meeting and providing a welcoming space for our Board to gather, as well as to Susie Parks with Coffee Corner for donating coffee that kept energy levels high and ideas flowing throughout the retreat. We also extend our appreciation to Diah Asker of Jimmy’s of Santee for providing a delicious assortment of sandwiches that kept our Board fueled and focused! An excellent reflection of the strong support we continue to receive from our local business community.

This year’s Board of Directors is truly exceptional. Hearing the enthusiasm and collaboration in the room highlighted a shared commitment to strengthening the Chamber and expanding the value we bring to our members and the Santee community in 2026. This retreat was just the spark. As we look ahead, we’re energized and inspired to deliver more value, more experiences, and more opportunities for our members than ever before. The momentum is building, and we’re excited to have you with us every step of the way.
