Way to go, Glen!

For his support to the Chamber – and his quick wit – Glen Schultz of Signature Voices, was recognized by our Ambassadors Team as Ambassador of the Month at the group’s meeting last week.  Glen, “your signature in sound,” does voiceovers, writing and producing for commercials, podcasts, phone messages, and many other business “voice” needs.  To learn more, visit his website at www.SignatureVoices.com.

If you would like to volunteer with us as a member of the Ambassadors Team, reach out to Chamber President Tom Morrissette.  The group meets monthly on the third Wednesday at 8:15 a.m.
