Exciting Milestone and Upcoming Changes

It’s official! This month marks 17 years since I took on the role of Executive Director. As we enter this reflective time of year, I wanted to share a nostalgic piece from the Denver Post, dated July 21, 2008, just as I began my journey with the Chamber in a part-time capacity. The article highlights the collaborative spirit of our Board and members, showcasing how our community thrives through teamwork.

We also should be announcing the new Executive Director for the Cherry Creek Chamber soon. Our Board of Directors has been diligently working on this transition over the past year, interviewing several candidates to ensure a bright future.

In the meantime, we’re wrapping up the year with some fantastic events. I hope to see you at one of them soon!

Why are Takeovers Important?

"Social media is the powerhouse of modern marketing, where content is the new gold. Instagram takeovers are a game-changer, offering businesses a dynamic way to reach new audiences and tell their story in a way that facts alone can't. Facts tell, but stories sell—and the right takeover can turn potential customers into loyal clients."

- Madi Garcia, Professional Storytelling
