2023 Reflections
As we reflect back on 2023, I want to thank Karen Anderson for all her guidance over the past 26 years. She is the reason the Scottsbluff/Gering United Chamber of Commerce is what it is today. Her passion for this industries in once of a kind. She has mentored and taught many people. Her expertise will be missed in many ways. The Scottsbluff/Gering United Chamber has over 150 volunteers who help us accomplish our Program of Work that is established by the Board of Directors each year. Committees of the chamber are listed on page four and five of this annual report. The Board of Directors and Co-Chairs share their time and talents with the chamber. These leaders truly make a difference in our community. Projects and accomplishments are listed in this publication to show you the magnitude of arenas the The chamber is a smooth running organization that appreciates all of our members, partnerships, andvolunteers. Thank you Craig Krentz for you leadership this past year. Thank you to the Board Members, Co-Chairs, and volunteers for making 2023 a huge success! chamber touches.
