Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce looking for Leadership Vance Candidates

/by

Do you have a passion for leadership and a desire to be part of something bigger where you live or work? If so, then Leadership Vance might just be what you’re looking for right now.

“We are currently seeking 15 to 20 individuals for the 2017 class,” said Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce Membership Director & LV Program Director Annette Roberson. “Each class is comprised of individuals who live, work or have an interest in the Henderson/Vance County community.”

This renowned program, created in the 1980’s is a program of the Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce. The program runs from February to July with ten class sessions plus a Community Services project and Graduation dinner.

It is designed to provide a behind-the-scenes view of the processes, programs, opportunities and challenges that impact the City of Henderson, and Vance County. Leadership Vance gives participants a chance to meet and exchange ideas with each other and with current community leaders.

Program graduates are equipped with the knowledge and the network to assume leadership roles at a local, regional, or state level and beyond. “We’ve had many graduates of this program use what they have learned to pursue leadership roles on city councils,  nonprofits or other business board of directors, in addition to local school boards,” said Roberson.

Program cost is $325 for Chamber members and $400 for non-Chamber members.  The tuition fee includes all course materials, meals, retreat expenses, travel, graduation banquet and diploma.  This year we have available two scholarship spots in the program provided by the LV Class of 2016.  Applications for the two scholarship spots will be looked at and voted on by the LV Class of 2016.

Application is attached.  To nominate an individual or for more information, please contact Annette Roberson at 252.438.8414 or annette@hendersonvance.org. Applications are accepted until the class is full.

City Tire Celebrates 60 Years of Business in Henderson

/by

On Friday, November  18th, Mike Rainey celebrated the company’s 60 years in business with family and friends, staff, local officials and business owners and the Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce.

City Tire has been doing business since 1956, which is before some of their customers were even born. Businesses that last 60 years do so because they are customer conscious and in this day and age it is difficult to find a company that will go the distance.

For 60 years City Tire has been providing a personal touch to guide their customers through the tire and wheel buying experience. City Tire is a family owned and operated business in Henderson.

Got a tire or wheel problem? Then check them out…City Tire has a solution. Get in and out quickly without sacrificing the quality of your work. They sell and service passenger, light & big trucks, farm equipment and specialty tires for customers in Henderson and surrounding areas. Whether it’s regular maintenance like tire rotations, balancing and flat tire repairs or specialty services like wheel straightening, brakes or alignment to name a few, they’re your one stop solution for tire and wheel sales and service.

For more information, please contact them at (252) 492-1195.

This anniversary represents a very significant milestone for City Tire and the Chamber is very excited to have been a part of this celebration.
