Progress West looks to make O’Fallon a healthier, safer community through several of their free programs like the Biggest Loser of St. Charles County and the Safety Stop for babies and children, just to name a couple. “When the selection committee met, the one thing that we kept asking was, ‘is this a company that we can hold up and say to our other members, this is what a good business does?’, I feel that each of the award winners are exactly that, businesses that our members can look to emulate,” Williams said.

WingHaven with my wife, Charissa, daughter Kinley, dog Kali, and just to drive me crazy, my wife has a cat, Shadow.
Welcome to 2013! Here at the Chamber I assure you that we are working towards another gangbuster year! First, I’d like to thank our outgoing Chairman of the Board, Cindy Elking. Cindy put in countless hours making sure that in a busy year, every decision made was in the best interest of our organization, all while running her successful catering company, Quintessential Catering. Under Cindy’s leadership, the Chamber increased participation by 30%, hosted over 200 functions, bought, built and moved into a new permanent home. Thank you Cindy for your dedication; you leave me with big shoes to fill. I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to those of you whom I haven’t had the pleasure to meet yet. I have served on the Board of Directors for the O’Fallon Chamber of Commerce for 3 years now, and I am honored to be the 2013 Chairman of the Board. I have been with PNC Bank for seven years, at the Harvester branch, Mexico Road Loop, and now the Cottleville branch. As a St Charles County Resident I am an Alumni of Vision Leadership (2010), Lindenwood University, and U-MO-Columbia. I live in
Center and EMS Outreach through a charity poker tournament. In 2012 the St. Charles County Ambulance District hosted 23 ICE cream socials in an effort to educate older adults about the in case of emergency program for cell phone users; providing one-on-one assistance to 678 individuals. O’Fallon is fortunate to have the services of the St. Charles County Ambulance District both in the ambulance and out. Honored as the Ambassador of the Year is Brian Richardson. As the first line of contact with the membership of the O’Fallon Chamber the Ambassadors strengthen the membership and programming of the Chamber allowing members a welcoming atmosphere to build relationships and their business. Brian Richardson exemplifies the role of an Ambassador of the O’Fallon Chamber of Commerce.
This year the O’Fallon Chamber will be working on a couple of goals. One is to increase our participation again this year! We want to see all of you at least one time per quarter. To make that goal easier to obtain we have increased our Morning Schmooze networking breakfasts to monthly; which gives our members an opportunity to meet and network morning, noon, and in the evening every month of the year. We have something to fit YOUR schedule! Next we will be looking at some alternative funding sources. Our Chamber has not raised its membership investment rates since 2004 because of the success of our fundraising events. However, with that being said, if there is a way to fund our organization while staff spends time on benefits and services to members rather than events, we have a win-win situation. I hope that you will make it a part of your New Year’s Resolution to become an active member of this awesome organization. I look forward to seeing you at the January 22nd general membership meeting and serving you throughout 2013. Adam Hopper 2013 Chairman of the Board
The Sue Proost O’Fallon Chamber Person of the Year was awarded to Jeff Arneson of JLJ Technology. This award is named after former Chairwoman of the Board who passed away in 2010.
