Put a Smile on my Face!

The Holiday Inn The Holiday Inn (Quail Springs Location), hosted the Greater OKC Chamber's "Rise and Shine" event this morning.  The hotels General Manager, William Lawrence, and staff prepared a wonderful continental breakfast and were there to welcome us to the hotel's spacious meeting room.

 Today's MC was Jason Pound, pictured right, with UMB Bank.  Jason challenged us all to introduce ourselves in ten words.  My intro:  Good morning!  I'm the mother of 200 children at Platt College who are all looking for a job!



Lisa Ritchey & George Peary

 Key speakers today were Lisa Boevers, Vice President of Membership, Elena Lister, Events Manager, Josh Parsons, Committee Chairperson, and Lisa Ritchey, Member Outreach and Phone Bank committees member.  I've had the pleasure of working with Lisa with George Peary, at the Chamber's monthly phone bank.  The Phone Bank is a wonderful opportunity to reach out to new members of the chamber and welcome them into our community.   

  



Josh Parsons & Christine Soileau





As always, the "Rise and Shine" was an excellent opportunity to network with businesses in our community.  On behalf of Platt College, I was able to connect with Stacy Cantu from Broadway Inn & Suites, John Dinsmore from Hilton Garden Inn, Kaan Camuz from Dove Science Academy, Nance Campbell from Arby's Market Fresh, Connie Root from Walker Companies,  and Michelle Boydston Big Brothers Big Sisters.
