Meet the URCC Board
We want you to meet our Board of Directors, so starting this week, we will be introducing them to you.
Pictured here is the Chair of the Board, Rebecca Marshall-Howarth, receiving the President's Award at last year's Annual Meeting. She has been a chamber member for more than three years as the owner of a freelance writing business
The Last Word
. She is involved in just about everything at the chamber from creating this enews to attending our events and volunteering in the URCC office. Of course, she has an ulterior motive for volunteering -- she meets people who might become clients.
And she always gets the last word. Just ask her. ;)
The Last Word is a full-service marketing communications company that helps both small and large businesses effectively communicate their value to their customers. For the small business, Rebecca works as an "as needed" marketing communications department, working with a network of professionals to design and print or post marketing materials. For larger businesses, Rebecca can be added to an existing staff, providing that oh so important "extra set of eyes." For all customers, Rebecca brings a fresh perspective on a company’s communications efforts and the experience gleaned from her 30-year corporate career.
She is here to help you and your business. She offers free consultations to URCC members. So, contact her, see her at one of our events, or visit her in our office Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week.
Reach out to her if you have suggestions or ideas about programs we could implement at the chamber.
