In early 2016, Venango Chamber President and CEO Susan Williams met with a few Chamber board members about a problem we were facing in Venango County–people talking negatively about our area.

Fast forward to January 26, 2017, and the launch of Be Here, focused on changing the narrative of our region and attracting and retaining people here.

It’s been a fun and eventful three years since this program started and as we head into 2020, we’re excited about the impact it has made, and we’re looking forward to seeing what this year holds.
