PV Chamber Report
Wow…Three big events, three weekends in a row. A
huge thank you to my staff who went above and beyond
in coordinating details and working the many long
hours. To our board members, thank you for joining in
the fun and providing much needed help and support.
I am so lucky to have amazing board members who
are happy to join in and mix it up. To Jimmy Cabral,
stars! Your infusion of new ideas really kicked our an-
nual Prescott Valley Days up and we look forward to
an even better one next year. Everyone rocked it this
year!
Our board elections are over and coming back to the
board is Steve Bracety, general manager of the Prescott
Resort and huge chamber supporter. He has served in
the past and brings a wealth of knowledge, experience,
and passion for business. Also reelected were Donna
Laxson, Erin Vredeveld and Frank Almendarez. We
say goodbye to Matt Zurcher who we have had as a
valuable board member for six years. While he leaves
an official capacity as a board member he will remain
active as an Ambassador and of course, as our favorite
“turkey” for the Flying High Turkey Drive.
