 JEFF MATHENY

Chair, 2010 Board of Directors

We are highlighting our incoming chairman of the board, Jeff Matheny.  Jeff said “We are coming out of a very challenging year of transitions, from selecting a new President to beginning a lot of new programs for the Chamber of Commerce of the Mid-Ohio Valley.”  Here is Jeff’s vision for a prosperous 2010.

 Jeff’s vision for the Chamber:

 Value in your Chamber membership:  An opportunity for contact with other members as well as providing community awareness of Chamber events and other interests.

•  Improved government relations: More communication with the members and show how they can be more effective in Charleston and Washington.  Jeff feels we need to find more ways to have our voices heard.
• Membership:  Jeff would like the Chamber to work on opportunities for the members to go to Washington and learn about how it works in Washington and how we, as a Chamber, can make an impact. 
• Strengthen our Committees:  Jeff wants to see us be able to strengthen our committees so they can achieve their goals for the betterment of the Chamber.  The Chamber needs to have the ability to provide the tools needed for committee success.
• Education:  The Chamber should provide educational options to enhance the members’ skills and their skills locally.

 Jeff has been in the Parkersburg area all his life and loves being part of our community.  He is the owner of Physician’s Business Office where they do business in practice management, revenue cycle management, medical billing, and electronic medical records.
