Dear Chanhassen Residents,

I’d like to wish you all a Happy New Year!
 
As we close out 2020, I reflect on the accomplishments and challenges, the perseverance and inspiration, and the hard work and benevolence from staff, residents, and the many businesses and community groups. I am so proud of this community and truly grateful for the opportunity to serve you as Mayor.
 
I look forward to 2021 and feel optimistic about the future of Chanhassen. Two years ago, when I took this office, I outlined five guiding principles, my “5 C’s”, and I remain committed to them today: Community. Communication. Collaboration. Commitment to Excellence. Chanhassen.
 
We have a lot of hard work ahead of us, but together, great things will be accomplished.
 
Happy New Year, Chanhassen! Wishing you and yours health and happiness in 2021!
 
Warmest Regards,
Elise Ryan
