July 24, 2006, Carleton Place, Ontario – Technology will play a more prominent role in the Carleton Place business community with the election of Robin Mulloy, Chief Executive Officer of Tomahawk Technologies Inc., as 2006 President of the Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce. Tomahawk’s expertise in Internet technology will help the local Chamber of Commerce become more visible to both the business community and the general public, including through the Web site Tomahawk has developed for the community (http://www.carletonplace.com), Mulloy said. "As a business owner and active member with the Chamber of Commerce, I wanted to see if there was a way Tomahawk could help bring better value to the membership," Mulloy said. "Tomahawk plans on being an integral part of better communication with all groups locally. I think there should also be better or more activity coming out of the Chamber office in the form of youth and entrepreneur programs." Mulloy’s plans also call for the business group to expand the range of services it offers to its members. “Hopefully, we will be able to host a business expo or trade show. If we get funding from Carleton Place Town Council, we could also see other events and activities.” Mulloy took over as President of the Chamber of Commerce in April after serving as an active member and as a director for three years. “I’m realizing there is an uphill battle to get the Chamber momentum to swing. Council funding and more hours in the Chamber office will help to remedy that. People are looking for an organization to belong to, one that meets all of their needs as a business. That is what the Chamber is aiming for.” Tomahawk Technologies, Inc. is a privately held and profitable high-tech firm that creates advanced web solutions for companies across North America. Tomahawk is active in local events, charities and organizations. Their web-based solution, ParkAdmin, has revolutionized the jobs of administrators of parking and security management. It was created by Tomahawk in 2001 specifically for Carleton University, and is now installed in campuses across North America.
