"We have a surplus of funds and work with a zeroâ€" based budget, which means what goes in comes out. We‘re in good financial shape." One of the issues he foresees as being big during his year as president is Market Value Assessment. "1988 market valâ€" ues would create hardships in Oakville for business.

As for the future, Kedzior says the Chamber will continue to move forward, but without any major changes. "We‘re always fine tuning the engine but we won‘t replace the inner workings. Why change someâ€" thing when nothing is wrong. For the next 40 years, we‘ll be moving onwards and upwards."
