Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year in 2014!

Dear Captains of Commerce and Champions of your Chamber,

At this joyous time of year, I am grateful for the relationship with each and every one of you.

It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with you in 2013.  As this year ends, we think about all we are grateful for. The Chamber appreciates your support and contributions to our organization and to the community.

Thanks to supporters like you, who make our work satisfying and enjoyable, we couldn’t do it without you!  I know the Board feels 2013 was a successful year for the Chamber of Commerce. We were able to exceed our goals and be of service to many of our valued members.  This is only because of the generosity and commitment of people like you…our members.  We look forward to contributing to your success even more in 2014.

I wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year in 2014!

Welcome - Assistant Executive Director, Mrs. Peggy (Nichols) Snodgrass.

Good Morning Captains of Commerce!

The El Dorado Springs Chamber of Commerce is excited to welcome our new Assistant Executive Director, Mrs. Peggy (Nichols) Snodgrass. Peggy is entering the position vacated by our Sylvia’s retirement. Peggy will begin working with the Chamber of Commerce on Monday December 30^th. Peggy will be assisting me, our Chamber Officers, and the Chamber’s membership (that’s you) plus promote our community to potential new member businesses and visitors.  Peggy attended El Dorado Springs schools and is a life-long resident of the community.

Her most recent career positions were as Deputy County Clerk and Voter Registration for eight years in St. Clair County. Peggy was also the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Secretary & Administrative Assistant for over thirteen years.

I’ve known Peggy for many years and we are very excited to have someone with her talents and ideas joining us in a new chapter in the life of the Chamber of Commerce. She brings many outstanding assets to our organization that I believe will make a positive difference to our membership.  Chamber of Commerce members will have the opportunity to meet and greet Peggy at the January Member’s Luncheon or of course you’re welcome to stop in the office most weekday mornings after the first of the year.

Happy Holidays &…Make it a great day!
