As a member of the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce, I always enjoy attending events such as the Annual Banquet, which give me an opportunity to catch up with other Chamber members, fellow Leadership Columbia County alumni, and hearing about how the efforts of the Chamber are impacting our community. This year my wife, Trudie, and daughter, Eve, joined me. Eve was selected to participate in the Chamber's Young Women on the Way program this year, so I look forward to seeing her grow personally and professional throughout the program and get more involved with the Chamber over time.
