Meet our new Executive Director

Hello! My name is Beth Schneider and I am honored to have joined the Conifer Area Chamber of Commerce sta as the new Executive Director.

As a Colorado native, I have had the privilege of living in several areas of the front range but I truly found my home when my family and I moved to Conifer in 2017, I love this community and all that makes it unique. Before joining the Chamber team, I worked in residential real estate sales and transaction management for 13 years and I am a co-founder of The Sam Schneider Legacy Fund with CureSearch for Children’s Cancer. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, mountain biking, hiking, gardening and soaking up the wildlife and beauty that Conifer has to o er.

I am extremely impressed by the hard work that the sta , board members, and ambassadors have put into keeping the Chamber running and making my leadership transition as smooth as possible. Their knowledge and support are invaluable in getting me started in this position and I am excited to bring my experience and enthusiasm to the Chamber of Commerce. Rest assured, I am committed to helping the Chamber grow and thrive for years to come.
