A great evening at Business After 5 with Thrivent! Congratulations on the beautiful new location — a larger space, growing team, and continued commitment to serving clients and our community.

What truly sets Thrivent apart is the “Thrivent Difference” — helping people build financial confidence while living generously and making an impact beyond themselves. It’s inspiring to see a business grow while staying grounded in purpose and relationships.

Thank you for hosting such a wonderful event and for investing in our community’s future. Wishing you continued success in your beautiful new space.

Our hearts are with the businesses impacted by the recent fire. Recovery will be a marathon, not a sprint, and our community’s support will mean everything in the days and months ahead. ❤️

Tonight at the Night Market, please stop by and support Artful Gourmet as they hold a raffle to help those affected. Every ticket purchased, every kind word, and every act of support makes a difference.

Please join us in welcoming Malika Jubeck as our new Chamber Development Manager!

In this role, Malika will help oversee member growth, retention, and sponsorship development for the Chamber. Many of you already know her as one of our dedicated Ambassadors and a hardworking volunteer who has been making a difference behind the scenes for quite some time. We are excited to officially have her on the team!

And the icing on the cake? Today, Malika graduated from Green County Leaders alongside Sandi Thomas, our Events and Operations Manager, and Brandi Moon, Chamber Ambassador.

We are incredibly proud of the leadership, passion, and commitment these women bring to the Chamber and to our community every single day.

Congratulations, ladies — your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed!
