Barbara Stockton & Gina Sotelo

Barbara Stockton & Gina Sotelo

A Note From the Executive Director.... 

 

You may have already had the pleasure to meet Barbara Stockton and Gina Sotelo, the new members of the Mequon-Theinsville Chamber of Commerce staff. In case you haven't yet had that opportunity, here is the update:

  
Barbara and Gina filled the part-time Administrative Assistant position that was previously held by Cindy Schacht. The position was structured as a job share arrangement. They work on alternating days and each has a designated area of focus.
  
In addition to both handling all of the general responsibilities, Barbara's emphasis is on accounts payable and recievables and technology; Gina's is membership, new member processes and publications.
  
They are already a great asset to the Chamber and stand ready to assist you with any needs or requests you may have regarding the Chamber.
