Melissa Deming
After four and a half years at the Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce it is time for me to say goodbye. I have accepted a position with an organization called Office Connection, a nonprofit management company in Columbia Heights, where I will be focusing on meetings and events for various clients. My tenure here at the chamber has been great! I will miss working with the wonderful chamber members I have gotten to know over the years, many whom I have formed great friendships.
I am excited to continue to watch the Chamber grow and prosper. I am even going to become a member through my Send Out Cards business! The Board of Directors and Chamber President Tim Roche have a great plan in place to make the Chamber even more impactful in strengthening and promoting the businesses of the Twin Cities North. Membership is booming, with 30 new members in the last 2 months alone! Looking back over my time at the Chamber I have learned a lot. However, the number one thing I will take away with me is the importance of a great team. I have had the privilege to work with an amazing boss, leader, and friend - Tim Roche. I will definitely miss the days of him dancing and singing in the office! It goes without saying how much I appreciate Shari Osterude and Ann Aubitz in the Membership Department. They have both brought great energy and enthusiasm to the team, and in turn that have attracted great members to this chamber. My last day will be Friday, October 12th. Please join us at the chamber office on Thursday, October 11th for an Open House/‘Say Goodbye to Melissa Reception’ from 11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. If you cannot attend feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn! I look forward to seeing you soon!
Did you know‌ The chamber has a brochure rack in the office where you can place your marketing material? Drop off 10-15 brochures and we will be happy to place them in the display rack! 525 Main Street, Suite 200 New Brighton, MN 55112 Shoreview Results Sponsor
