 We wanted to let you know about a couple of staffing changes at your Chamber. Emily Corson, Communications & Events Director,  recently accepted a new position with the Minnesota Board of Law Examiners as the Bar Exam Administrator. Her last day with the Chamber is Friday, July 21. She's been a wonderful team member and truly will be missed. Fortunately for us, Kelli Morgen, will be transitioning this week from her role as Member Relations Director to Events & Programs Director. Please join us in congratulating Emily and Kelli!

Member Spotlight: Appreciating the Relationships
Lisa Franxman, Vice President Business Banking/Senior Bank Sales Manager, Anchor Bank
I handle the day to day operations of Anchor Bank in Farmington and enjoy partnering with business owners to help them thrive. In my career, the number one most amazing accomplishment for me was watching one of my business customers grow from a start-up company to a highly successful and profitable entity and knowing that I had a part in that. The three top things to know about me are that I'm relational, community focused, and I have an expertise in SBA lending.
I am serving my third term on the Board of Directors for the Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce. I have also had the privilege of being the Chair of the Women's Conference in 2015 and 2016 and have served on various committees. Through my involvement with DCR Chamber, I have learned a lot and appreciate the relationships I have developed over the years. I am also an active member of the Farmington Rotary Club where I am currently serving as Secretary.
