Chair Vince Falsarella completed the Annual Meeting with his 4 goals for the Mesquite Chamber of Commerce in 2024:

1. A facelift. The Mesquite Chamber of Commerce is going through a re-brand to freshen up the look. This includes logos and color schemes, in addition to our new location at Heritage Plaza.

2. Expanding our team. The Mesquite Chamber of Commerce is hiring a full time Events & Program Coordinator to continue our growth and become even more relevant to the membership.

3. A new program. We are implementing a new program for our membership and community: The Mesquite Senior Advocate Alliance, a members-only program to help and advocate for our seniors. The Alliance will network, share referrals, attend community events, and promote better services for seniors.

4. Making a splash. The team is working on a never seen before style event in Mesquite. This event will put Mesquite on the map, and be a signature event.
