Bio
Robert "Rob" Lamb, FSCP, DTM
Are you looking for an innovative though leader? You will have one in John Safin! I have been associated with John Safin through the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce for the past 3 years. From the moment I met him, I knew he was what the Chamber of Commerce needed to grow with the constantly changing business environment. His energy and positive attitude is infectious! My experience with John has always been positive. John is very intelligent and compassionate to the thoughts and feelings of others. He is willing to listen and provide positive feedback to their concerns and provide thought provoking insights. John has initiated many positive changes in the Chamber allowing us to become a stronger Chamber. He initiated a change to modernize the chamber with regard to logo design, website design and functionality, membership drives (22 new members in one week!) and enhancing member benefits. These changes have not only resulted in growth, but in retention of existing members. We now have an 80% retention rate versus the prior 70%. For the first time in 15 years, the chamber is seeing a positive return in the balance sheet! John is naturally very tactful. This gift has allowed him to make inroads with city and state governments the Chamber did not have previously, as well as strengthen those relationships already in place. John’s innovation has also led him to create candidate forums for local candidates seeking election. These forums allow businesses and the community at-large to meet and hear directly from candidates running for office. John also has a passion for the community and created events, such as
Michael Keyack
Over the years that I have known John I have come to have the greatest respect for his ability to get things done. Even when faced with obstacles and challenges, John can focus in on the things that matter and produce the best outcome for stakeholders. John’s leadership, marketing, branding and communications skills are key elements in his success stories. If you want something done right, ask John for help.

I worked with John during a time he was organizing large client conferences. His attention to detail was amazing. From the training classes to the food to the entertainment. If there was ever a problem, the clients never saw it. His vision, planning, and execution of these events were very impressive. John is an honorable and gifted individual. I have great respect for and had a very good working relationship with John.
