Chamber Welcomes Two New Members

We are excited to welcome Pier One Insurance as a new member! Owner Kevin Carney, a U.S. Navy veteran who served overseas, comes from Texas. With a strong commitment to his clients, Kevin leads Pier One Insurance on the principle of “safeguarding what matters most.”

Pier One Insurance specializes in critical illness, disability, and life insurance. These often get overlooked but are essential to what Kevin believes in, protecting you and your loved ones. Without it, unforeseen health events can create major financial challenges. Critical illness coverage typically includes protection against cancer, heart attack, stroke, end stage renal failure, and Parkinson’s disease.

With a team boasting over 50 years of combined experience in the insurance industry, Pier One Insurance is ready to provide knowledgeable, personalized guidance. Their expertise ensures each client finds the coverage that best fits their specific needs.

Kevin is passionate about helping individuals and families gain peace of mind, knowing that they are prepared for life’s unexpected events. With the support of his experienced team, Kevin operates a company rooted in trust, service, and what matters most. 

We are excited to announce Mary Kay by Tissany Atkinson as a new valued member of our Chamber! Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Tissany moved to our area for a slower pace of life for her family. She enjoys the strong sense of community the area brings.

Tissany specializes in personalized beauty, fragrance, cosmetic, and skincare services for men and women. She enjoys providing customized gift services for employees and businesses. Tissany also strongly believes in supporting other entrepreneurs, along with uplifting women and underserved populations through believing in themselves and taking the chance to be business owners.

Outside of running her business, Tissany’s work reflects her dedication to community and service. She is very active in her church, Koinonia Christian Center, and loves finding ways to give back, whether through mentoring other women or creating thoughtful gift experiences for local businesses. Her approach to beauty is personal, and empowering.

With her passion for others and commitment to lifting her community, Tissany continues to grow a business that’s about more than just beauty, it’s about confidence, connection, and opportunity. Whether helping clients find their perfect match or supporting local entrepreneurs, Tissany embodies the spirit of service that makes our Chamber proud to welcome her.

September is a welcome break for those of us that had a million things going on in August, but there's still much to be done! Stay tuned for plans about our second annual Glow Golf event for the beginning of October - this year we will be doing things even bigger, and will need sponsors to help make it possible!


The 2026 calendar is now open, so if you're interested in hosting an event; Morning Mingle, After Hours, Before Hours, Lunch Break-Out, etc. get in touch with me to choose your month! Hosting responsibilities vary, and we do have a few options for those that don't have a location needed, so don't let that hold you back!
