If you have any specific questions on our organization, our Board of Directors, Program of Work, staff, policies, or positions, you’ll want to reach out to me. I also do my best to keep you informed and educated through Community Affairs Luncheons, Legislative Cracker Barrels, Candidate Forums, Aberdeen Day, weekly email correspondence, and the Chamber’s website. I also facilitate the Leadership Aberdeen program and Leadercast, and can get you involved in committees and programs that focus on transportation and military/veteran issues.

Membership & Engagement

I focus mostly on membership recruitment and retention. If you want to know the benefits of being a Chamber member, I'm the one to ask. I also love to get your business and your employees engaged through the committees I manage that focus on networking and community outreach such as Diplomats, Health & Wellness, Enhance Aberdeen or through the EDGE for young professionals.
