Happy New Year! I am Marisol Carvajal-Garcia. It is with great pleasure to serve as this year’s board president. I would like to take this opportunity to thank R. David Guerrero for serving as board president in 2016. Also, I would like to thank our out-going board members Nena Castillo-Pitts, Ofelia Hunter, Toby Flores, Dr. Grace Everett, Dr. Roel Valadez, DDS, Rodrigo Rodriguez and Albert Martinez for their dedication to the Chamber and serving on the board.
The start of a new year is always a great time to set goals. While setting personal resolutions is a great way to begin the year, here are a few to help your business.
On behalf of the Alice Ambassadors and its officers, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I am Ofelia Hunter, the 2017 Alice Ambassador president. I am taking another term as ambassador president.

Do you know how to find and retain these key employees?
