Goodbye Annie!
Our Director of Marketing and Events, Annie Smiley, is heading back to Indiana to pursue new adventures. She has been with the West Metro Chamber for exactly two years and we are going to miss her! In that short time, Annie has put our Young Professionals program back on the map, substantially grown our monthly Business After Hours and produced the largest Taste of the West event to date (we had 1342 people attend this year). Thank you, Annie! Her last day is August 14.
We are welcoming back a familiar face- Genevieve Wooden. Gen will be handling our major events and several programs. So, if you have questions about Shootout Golf, Women's Summit of the Rockies or other program, please contact Genevieve at [email protected] (after August 14). Feel free to contact Pam as well with any other questions- [email protected].
