Introducing the 2010-2011 Board Nominees
(in alphabetical order)
 |
David Adams
Owen Lumber Company
I am running for the Chamber Board of Directors as I believe in the value the chamber brings to the community and the work they are doing to bring economic development and tourism to Excelsior Springs. I served on the board from 2005-2007 and served as President in 2006. I would like the opportunity to return and be a part of the growth and development of a revitalized Excelsior Springs. |

Rebecca Bender
House of Embroidery Designs
I am honored to be nominated as a possible member of the board. I agreed to run for the board as a way to return the help the Chamber has given my business. I want to help the Chamber make a difference in our community. |

Eric Busick
General Manager, The Elms Resort & Spa
As a person that was raised in Excelsior Springs and conducts business here, I believe there is a responsibility to be active in the community. It is important to me and The Elms, that the Community of Excelsior Springs and The Chamber attract more commerce to ensure a prosperous future. I have chaired two Excelsior Springs Chamber of Commerce committees, the Marketing Committee and currently the Economic Development Committee. I would like the opportunity to become more involved with the leadership and direction of the chamber. Thank you for your consideration.

Chrissy Craig
Community Bank of Missouri
I agreed to run for the Chamber board because I believe in the business community of Excelsior Springs. The people of Excelsior are warm, inviting and hardworking, and I would consider it a privilege to serve on a board that promotes the area. I have experienced first-hand how the Chamber works to promote local businesses, and I would love to be a part of that process. I have worked in the Excelsior area for a year and a half, and lived in the Lawson area for six years -- I can honestly say I have enjoyed every minute. Thank you for the opportunity. |

Beverly Delugeau
Proprietor, Inn on Crescent Lake
Although Excelsior Springs is a small town, I can see a bright future as businesses and residents alike join hand in hand to work together to bring new life and beautification to this historical town. As a business owner, we encourage all of our clients to go downtown to shop and eat and we are thrilled when they return with such positive remarks.
As a Chamber member, I believe we will not only gain an immediate respect from our customers, but are also be able to network and support other Chamber members. Working together will enable us all to be more visible and connected. It would be an honor to serve on the Chamber board of directors of Excelsior Springs. I have worked closely with numerous Chambers throughout the US and I have had the privilege to help Chamber members grow their businesses.
As a board member I would do my best to bring fresh and new ideas to the Chamber. My background is in international marketing and over the past 30 years, I have worked with larger fortune 500 companies as well as the "Mom and Pop' smaller businesses and the goal was always the same -- to help them become more successful and teach them techniques to obtain results. In my opinion, when you believe in your business and products, you will succeed!

Clint Hylton
Shelter Insurance
After serving on the board for the past three years I am confident that I would be a strong asset to the Chamber board. There have been many changes and challenges that our board has faced and I would appreciate the opportunity to serve again to insure we stay headed in the right direction. During the past three years I have been instrumental in reviving Waterfest, working with the Christmas committee, and developing an evaluation system for our Chamber manager. Our Chamber needs to remain strong and active and I would appreciate your support so that I may continue to help us stay that way. |

Melissa Seely
M'pressions Salon and Tan
As a business owner for four years and a member of the chamber for four years I am always interested in growing my business. In order to do this I feel that it is important for me to stay involved in the community. I feel like serving on the chamber board will give me an opportunity to be involved and to get to know other business owners that I may not have had the chance to meet. Being a lifelong resident of the community I feel like I know a lot of people, but I am always meeting new business people at the monthly meetings. Serving on the board will give me an opportunity to get to know and help new as well as existing business much better.

Anna Sue Spohn
Itchin 2 Go Travel
At this time in my life, it is time to give back to a community that has served our family well over the last 22 years. I have made many friendships with so many of the people here in Excelsior. They have well accepted this city girl! There are great things on the horizon for our community. We have so much to offer residents, business and tourism. I would like the opportunity to bring fresh ideas, a new perspective to the Chamber of Commerce table. My background in entertainment, advertising, marketing, sales and travel can be an asset to the community of Excelsior Springs. My goal each day is to have a very positive attitude. We never know what life may bring our way. However, I believe it is essential to always be a part of the solution and not the problem. |

Keith Winge
Downtown Excelsior Partnership
Having served on the board of directors for the past three years, I see the good work that the Chamber performs and I also see the good work the Chamber wants to perform. Having represented the Elms for the past three years, I know the importance of the Chamber on businesses in our community – large and small. The number one benefit of being a part of the Chamber has been the networking with access to the most comprehensive group of businesses in our community. The current business climate makes the Chamber even more valuable as a resource, networking opportunity or rallying force for the voice of small business. The Chamber needs to reach out, now more than ever, to the membership as a support organization, offer business assistance or resources and be that support for the businesses in Excelsior Springs. I have participated in various committees of the Chamber and would like the opportunity to continue. I have helped with Waterfest, marketing, the annual dinner and golf tournament. As a representative of the Downtown Excelsior Partnership, I am interested in the businesses and development of downtown and would like to continue to work with the marketing of our community to tourists and aid in the economic development of the entire community. The health of our entire community is important to all businesses and residents – downtown and citywide. |
