Welcome New Members! Congratulations to our new inductees

The Chamber congratulates Maren Schreiber, longtime Supervisor of the Inspire Program at EPRD, and Barbara Sternberg (posthumously) who was a founding member of the Evergreen Chapter of PFLAG – Parents, Family & Friends of Lesbians and Gays for their inductions into the Chamber’s Mountain Area Women in Business Hall of Fame. We appreciate the many years of service they each have provided to our community and recognize that we owe a debt of gratitude to them and their families.

The Chamber added a second category this year called Women on the Rise. We recognize that a Hall of Fame can take many years to achieve, so we want to recognize the positive impact other women are having on our community sooner in their careers. This year, the Women on the Rise recognized Megan Mitchell, co-owner of Cactus Jack’s and Lisa Nierenberg, Executive Director at CAE. Congratulations and thank you all.
