Board of Directors Spotlight: Tom Glover
|
When Cogentes joined the Chamber in 2009, I immediately recognized the value of the organization in the community and wanted to help in any way I could. While talking with Chamber leadership it became obvious they needed help with upgrading and supporting their technology. Over the next several years we volunteered time and services to help the Chamber transform their technology to meet the changing demands of their members. When asked to join the Board of Directors in 2013, I saw that as a great way to become more involved and have a more active role in improving our community and helping other businesses succeed. I have enjoyed my first three years on the board and have been able to be a part of an amazing transformation at the Chamber. I am excited to serve as Board Chair for 2016 and look forward to working with the other board members, Angie and her team to have a tremendous year and set the stage for many more successful years to come.

Ambassador Spotlight: Amy Miller
|
|
A native of St. Mary's, GA, I started my career on Jekyll Island where I worked in the hotel industry for 11 years, working up to Director of Sales & Marketing. I then moved to banking and worked for SunTrust Bank for 7 years, and have been with Robins Financial Credit Union since 2013 as Branch Manager of the Milledgeville office.
A career opportunity for my husband, Chris, brought us to Milledgeville 6 years ago. We reside in Gray with our two young daughters, Reese (4 years) & Mayson (15 months).
I have been recognized as Branch Manager of the Quarter multiple times with RFCU and helped lead the branch to achieve Branch of the Year for 2014.
I am currently a Leadership Baldwin participant and enjoy being involved in the community. In 2015, I became an Ambassador for the Chamber and I am excited about being the Chair for 2016.
