Ambassador of the Quarter Ashlee Mecham
Ashlee Mecham: Caring for Salem and Each Other
“I haven’t been an Ambassador for too long – around two years. It gives an opportunity to meet new members and grants an avenue when talking about the Chamber. It helps to be an Ambassador, because I don’t feel like I’m pushing people to check out events the Chamber offers because I’ll be there too. I have commitments to be at things, and that results in communication and presence.”
Ashlee Mecham is an Oregon Licensed Broker with Berkshire
Hathaway HomeServices Real Estate
Professionals.
Mecham and her husband moved to Salem in 2012 after he finished his time in the military and began school at Chemeketa Community College. Mecham established her business here, and by the time he graduated from Oregon State she was ready to call Salem home. He was hired by Garmin right out of college, and they bought a home here.
Some of Mecham’s favorite businesses to support are Urban Block or Furbish, and
Roth’s Fresh Markets
and Ace also have great gift shops as well.
Mecham remarked being involved in the community helps her to be more invested in the place she lives. “[It] has allowed me to meet so many people and connect those people to the services they need because I’m more aware of what’s available. It’s [also] a great way to build community and friendships, and it helps me feel more connected to the place I live.”
“Half the people I see in the community are because I’ve been with the Chamber,” Mecham said. “I do business with Chamber people – my insurance agent is a Chamber member I met at a Chamber event, and my financial advisor is a Chamber member I met at a Chamber event. And I recommend my clients to Chamber members. Everyone I know is from the Chamber.”
If Mecham could tell Salem businesses one thing about the Salem Chamber, it would be, “If you choose to take advantage of what the Chamber offers to its members, you’ll be welcomed into a group of people who care about Salem and each other, and who enjoy doing business with one another. And you might make some friends along the way!” 503.
