MESSAGE FROM YOUR MANAGING CONSULTANT.. We would like to congratulate our Chilton County Commission on their commitment to work sessions to inform our residents about the most current activities, to learn more about the work of other organizations, and to bring Chilton County together as a team of which we are very proud. Well done, Commissioners! Thank you to SouthCrest Bank for hosting Business After Hours. We appreciate Ms. Patsy Leach and her management for the time we spent together. We realize that much of our talent is driving out of our county every day, and Jannette Brasher President Mutual Savings Credit Union (205)-755-7786 jbrasher@mutualsavings.org
Some of your Chamber board members participated in a regional meeting of Chambers last month, visiting with Birmingham Business Alliance and hearing Mr. Jeremy Arthur, executive director of Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama. Our goal is to improve as we hear how other Chambers operate and to take advantage of new opportunities. As we move into the holiday season, let’s remember to think “Shop Local” first for your
holiday gatherings and gifts. Our goal with “Shop Local” is to change our buying habits and unite us as a community. Brittani and I wish to thank you for your memberships and sponsorships. We hope your Christmas season is filled with joy! As the calendar turns to 2015, remember to get your tickets for the Annual Banquet!! Don’t be left out! Janice Hull Hull & Russell, P.C.

Ambassador of the Month SHOP
I have been a Chamber Ambassador since 2011. I have been a resident of Maplesville for 24 years. Chilton county is a wonderful place to raise a family and be part of such close knit community. I am married to Allen Taddicken, I have a daughter Ashley and a step son Kris. I am employed at Gentiva hospice as a Volunteer Manager . I have been privileged to go through the Leadership program where I learned how important it is to cultivate relationships, and networking. I am very honored to be a part of our Chamber and to have been able to learn so much from Mike Robertson!
