Quite a bit, actually. In the last five years, my law firm experienced hyper growth. From 2015 to 2018, we saw a revenue increase of 125% with profit hovering around 10%. By 2017, we had quadrupled our revenue—without quadrupling client headcount. In fact, in 2016, we serviced 158 clients. In 2017 that number dropped to 125, but our revenue jumped by almost half a million dollars. By 2018 we brought in 142 new clients, representing a 15.5% revenue growth over 2017. We grew the dollar value of our average client by over 60%! Author: Naoma Welk, Welk Ink and Leadership Morris Alumni Council Member
Since 1991, Leadership Morris has showcased Morris County’s non-profit community to classes of future leaders who have taken the opportunity to learn about Morris County, its non-profits, the local and state government and explore how they might be able to give back to communities in which they live and work.

As my first year as chamber president comes to a close, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your enthusiasm, contributions, new ideas and volunteer leadership that makes the Morris County Chamber of Commerce one of the best business associations in the state and country! As an organization we are committed to “the infinite game,” as Simon Sinek calls it, and always asking ourselves how we can make the chamber experience even better than before. I am looking forward to continuing to build on the success of 2019, when we welcomed several hundred new members and also four new team members. I appreciate all your dedication to the chamber’s mission, especially during this time of change, to work collaboratively to advance your interests and champion a thriving business and community environment. |
