John, I had a call from Bob Vukanovich (former Councilman) who was wondering when the NW Valley Chamber of Commerce would be changing its name and logo to Surprise Chamber of Commerce. Can you shed some light on that?  Stephanie Wilson   Assistant to the City Manager    City of Surprise

Yes.  They are required to change their name as part of the contract.  They are going through a process that will involve members choosing between some alternatives, such as Greater Surprise Chamber, Surprise Area Chamber, etc.  They are also creating a new logo and collateral materials, etc.  So this may take 90-120 days to complete, as spelled out in the contract.  I expect that sometime early next calendar year–say, late January or early February–they will start rolling it out, probably with a big announcement.
