Show The Newspaper Thursday, January 14, 1982 Ptf e A9 jP- -termnde Familiar names fill roles in joint organization January l, 1982 marked the first official day of operation of the recently consolidated Park City Area Chamber of Commerce Convention and Visitor's Bureau. Of course, this does not mean that the board and staff have been sitting back since Oct. 29, when the consolidation was officially approved. From FAM tours to Film Festival, travel writers to timeshare, end brochures to busing, the staff has been hard at work with the continuing programs of both organizations. Since the endorsement in favor of consolidation, the past and interim boards and staff have found that they are in strong agreement: the new, combined enterprise can and will offer more in depth service to the mem-, bership and community. There are, in fact, many benefits in support of a combined organization. One of the most obvious is the elimination of duplication of services. More specifically, under the newly established structure, one strong organization organ-ization is represented on civic committees, one organization organ-ization provides brochure publication and distribution for Park City, and one fewer organization is out seeking membership dues from the same Park City businesses, year after year. At the same time, membership dues go further with combined, more efficient budgeting. Similarly, Similar-ly, transient room tax dollars dol-lars go further, for the promotion of Park City, under one comprehensive marketing plan. The list goes on and on. Perhaps the most recent newsworthy item regarding the consolidation effort is the "phasing out" of Amanda Peterson, former Chamber director, and the recent addition of Tina Lewis to the organization's staff. Chamber Cham-ber members recognize Tina as a former board member, in charge of Community Affairs, and as the driving force behind the success of many fundraisers. She is well aware of the Chamber's past achievements, present projects, and future plans. In factWH be. 'instrument;; in seeing 'those future plans'' come to pass, as Director of Community Affairs. Her position pos-ition will span areas of government involvement, community affairs, and membership. Further, her involvement with the city, as councilwoman, will bring about a sharing of insights between the Chamber Bureau and city government. In the meantime, Amanda Peterson has been very enthusiastic about the merge of the Chamber and Bureau, paying particular attention to the detail and welfare of commerce interests throughout through-out the transition. Since becoming involved with the Chamber, seven years ago, Amanda has guided the organization from being a part-time endeavor, designed to greet the occasional oc-casional tourist, to the highly effective, visible, and productive pro-ductive organization it is today. The business community com-munity owes Amanda many thanks for her active pursuit of Chamber interests, and her willingness to tackle any new project or problem, and see it through to its end.

Under the professional profes-sional leadership of Deb Symonds, the newly merged organization will continue to maintain its high profile and grow with the town's needs. And what will Amanda do? "My future position with the Chamber Bureau will be as a consultant. Over the next month or so, I will phase out of the day-to-day operations oper-ations and be utilized as a special projects consultant. The Chamber Bureau will make use of my services for those activities and events that will benefit from my past experience and know ledge. In the meantime, I am very pleased and flattered that Tina Lewis, one of the most community-minded, people I know, is willing to become intimately involved in the Chamber Bureau organization. Our continued success will be greatly enhanced by her involvement." involve-ment."
