Chamber postpones One Redmond luncheon for next month

Published 10:47 am Tuesday, January 17, 2012

The Greater Redmond Chamber of Commerce will postpone its luncheon on the developing One Redmond initiative until next month due to the threat of inclement weather, according to the chamber’s interim President and Chief Executive Officer Danielle Lynch.

The luncheon will be rescheduled for Feb. 15 at Matt’s Rotisserie in the Redmond Town Center. The luncheon will start at 11:30 a.m. and will discuss One Redmond, a new public-private partnership that focuses on economic vitality and community building.

The initiative is a partnership between the City of Redmond and the chamber, along with the city’s two other economic, community-focused entities — not-for-profits Redmond Economic Development Alliance (REDA) and Realize Redmond. One Redmond is still in the planning stages and the structure should be in place by late February or early March. The luncheon will educate business owners and residents about the background and vision of the One Redmond.

The luncheon will feature panelists from all four groups, including Tom Martin, a senior vice president at Evergreen Hospital Medical Center (chamber); City Council President Pat Vache (City of Redmond); Jim Stanton, senior community affairs manager at Microsoft (REDA) and Jeni Craswell, the executive director of Realize Redmond.
