I started at the Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce in October 2000 as a part time administrative assistant (after having the privilege of being a stay-at-home mom for 8 years). I held that position until November 1, 2005, when I became the Executive Director. As of July 1, 2023, I have retired as Executive Director and will continue working part time as an administrative assistant; coming full circle.
