What Inspired You to First Get Involved with Your Chamber?
I have always been someone who likes to be involved. I played sports and sang music in high school, and I was highly involved in my sorority in college. I realized my passion to plan events, recruit membership, be involved in my community and social networking at that time. After college, I moved to the Bondurant area and wanted to get more involved. I came across an issue of Bondurant Living and saw someone who I went to college with. I reached out and asked if the Bondurant Chamber was hiring. They were not at that time. For the next few years, I kept my eyes open, met up with other Chamber directors and searched for positions that would interest me. When I was pregnant with my youngest son, Brady, the position finally opened up. I applied and started the job shortly after. I worked my full-time job as the director of activities at Variety - the Children’s Charity and part-time for the Bondurant Chamber until shortly after Brady’s birth. My husband and I decided it was best for me to move to part-time while staying at home with the boys. From day one I loved the Bondurant community and knew it was a place I wanted to call home. The business atmosphere, and the potential for growth, in Bondurant is amazing.
