Heartfelt Words from Departing Board President, Guy Maughan

As my term as President of The Chamber Collective comes to an end, I want to take a moment to reflect on and celebrate the incredible work we’ve accomplished together. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our Board of Directors and our Membership Development Coordinator, we’ve achieved some remarkable milestones:

• Streamlining membership costs: We’ve reduced tiers to make membership more affordable and brought back monthly payment options to fit the needs of more businesses.
• Expanding business development opportunities: Programs like Zoom Into Success have brought valuable insights to our members.
• Revitalizing networking events: We’ve refreshed beloved gatherings such as Off the Clock, now hosted at Glow Martini Lounge, and Coffee Talk, taking place in Tehaleh at the new Post & Pour.
• Reinvigorating our luncheons: With engaging speakers and panels that tackle the topics that matter most to business owners in Bonney Lake, Tehaleh, Lake Tapps, and Lakeland Hills.

Though my time back was brief, it was filled with dedication to promoting the economic vitality of our region. The Chamber’s mission to engage, connect, and grow has been at the heart of all we’ve done, and I am confident the momentum we’ve built will carry us into an exciting 2025.

As I step down from my role as President, I am thrilled to announce the incoming leadership team. Andy Frickel, our current Vice President, will be stepping into the role of President, and Gina Humphries will be serving as our Vice President for 2025. We are also excited to welcome our newest Board Member, Rochelle Tapia.

Thank you all for your continued support of The Chamber Collective. Let’s keep building a thriving business community together.
