Santee Chamber Weekly Update 04JAN24

Hello Santee!

Let me warn you, those bottles were for “props” only! However, when searching through my many photos of Melissa over the past two years, this one proved to be the most fun. I say that because Melissa is a lot of fun, but as chair of our board the past two years, she has definitely worn several hats, always knowing that business comes first. Melissa and her husband are the owners of second-generation company, Raceway Electric & Solar. We met years ago as our sons were schoolmates but she got involved with the chamber when fellow business owner, Sarah Wood, made the formal introduction. She wanted to grow their company (which she has, immensely) but little did she know she’d help grow the Chamber as well. I could write a short novel on the impact she has had personally and professionally on me, but I’ll save that for another time. For now, I’d just like to say thank you to her, specifically for these last two years as chair of our board. She has invested so much of her thoughtfulness, insight, talent and creativity to us and I am so thankful for all she has done.

Happy New Year to our wonderful business community and beyond.
