Keep it Local Sponsor: Big A’s Home Improvement

I joined the chamber ins 2014 and have enjoyed the opportunity to meet many of the chamber members through committee work, programs, networking events as well as through the “Voice of Business and “Keep It Local” TV Shows I’ve hosted on Bev Cam. With the pandemic mostly passed I look forward to meeting with the new members in the future. But above all, remember to “Keep It Local” and support our chamber member’s organizations.
