February 2015 - In This Issue:
Greetings!

We've just ended January with an incredible celebration at our 20th Annual Celebration of Leaders Awards dinner. Thank you to all of our sponsors, donors, volunteers and attendees for making this one of the most memorable to date.

We recently welcomed two new members to the Chamber team: Julie Conde, Interim Programs & Events Manager and Olivia Uribe-Mutal, Government Affairs Manager. We also had the pleasure of having Laura Macias, Interim Government Relations Advisor on our team for the last three weeks. We look forward to seeing you at our next event and please say hello and introduce yourselves to our newest team members.
