Board of Directors
Jeni Christopher, Yocum Oil
President
The Quad Area Chamber is a vibrant and growing organization, supporting the needs of the businesses in the communities it serves. As a business professional serving the area, I want to be a contributing part of the Chamber's continued growth and success, and eagerly lend my energy and enthusiasm to impact greater goals of the Chamber, the Members and the Communities.
Phil Derksen, Smart Insurance Agency LLC.
Vice-President
The Quad Area Chamber of Commerce gives me a chance to get to know all of the local businesses in the area. I have a desire to reach out to the community by being a voice for the local community businesses.
Luke Ferden, North American Banking Company
Chamber Treasurer Since 2009
I am involved in the Quad Area Chamber of Commerce to be an advocate for the Quad area businesses and residents. The Chamber’s various meetings and events have given me an opportunity to meet new people and stay in touch with old friends.
Mary Alice Divine, City of Lino Lakes
Former Vice-President, Member of the Board since 2004
My involvement on the chamber helps me keep in touch with the needs of the local business community. The chamber has come a long way under Mitch Rehbine's leadership and I'm pleased at how it is reaching out in new ways to serve more people.
Faamati Winey, Snap Fitness - Lino Lakes
I first joined the Quad Chamber of Commerce in 2004 with my first snap location. I started to become involve with the chamber at several events and meetings and soon joined it's Board of Directors. In 2008, I finished my second term on the board and decided to step down for awhile as I was in the process of opening new Snap Fitness locations. I recently opened my fifth Snap Fitness location and now that it is up and running successfully, I am ready to re-join the Board of Directors. This was the first chamber I joined and I feel so fortunate to work with such great people. The Quad Chamber will always be my favorite. We are like family. I will try to do my best to serve our members and our communities and also to help grow our chamber.
In February 2011 I was able to open Health Path Chiropractic & Wellness Center in beautiful Lino Lakes, MN. I joined the Quad Area Chamber of Commerce in March 2011 and to date nothing has produced like joining the Chamber. The minimal investment has already paid off tenfold and the members. Don't get me started on the members. Every Chamber member that I have had the pleasure to meet has been amazing. Hopefully this does not sound too cliché, but I have found the Chamber to have a great team feel to it. And that is very important to me because I know that I am not alone in running a business. There is a whole group of members who are only a phone call away when you need advice or support.
Anna Wicks, Director
Started working with the Chamber in 2007
The Quad Area Chamber of Commerce allows me to blend my background as a HR professional, event planner and now stay at home-Mom. Working part-time with the Quad Cities gives me a chance to help grow a thriving Chamber of Commerce at the center of four vibrant cities centered amongst the beauty of a natural background that is uniquely Minnesota. I feel a passion for the people and businesses of this area. As both the Chamber and the area businesses continue to grow, I trust that they will never lose that home-town feel.
