She helps manage the Commodores and organizes ribbon cuttings, parade schedules, and other community events.

Marilee also works closely with the Programs Manager to organize networking events and marketing opportunities for Chamber Members. Each year, she organizes two membership drives and oversees the Membership Outreach committee which runs the New Member Receptions and Membership Appreciation socials.
The Chamber would like to thank and recognize Brenda and Marilee for their dedication and hard work over the years. Please help us in thanking them for their service!
