Chair’s Letter – January 2020

Happy 2020 All!

I moved to North County from Helena, AR to attend pharmacy school in 2003.  I began my pharmacy career at the Ferguson Walmart, then on to Bridgeton.  I took my first pharmacy manager’s job at the Chesterfield location and when I heard there was going to be a Florissant store, I jumped at the opportunity to serve here.  North County has a special place in my heart because it’s the only place I’ve lived since moving to St. Louis; there was no question where I was going to continue to live and begin my family.  North County is strong and full of delightful and unique people, places, and opportunities and is a place that we can all be proud of.  The Chamber helps to ensure that we remain connected, strong, and viable.  We are not a governmental agency; we are a group of neighbors working together for one common goal.  That goal is the longevity and prosperity of North St. Louis County.  I am both humbled and excited to be entrusted with this position and I look forward to working with all of you as we move into this new decade.  Our Board of Directors is a great group of stakeholders, from a variety of backgrounds and places.

Board Officers:
Rick Dorsey – Vice-Chair
Carl Lathan– Secretary
Jon Vogt– Treasurer
Darla Tinker– Past Chair

Please join me in welcoming the new board members to the 2020 GNCC Board:

Dr. Nettie Collins-Hart, Hazelwood School District
Paul Manganelli – American Family Insurance
Sara Savat – SSM Health DePaul Hospital
Mike Moehlenkamp – Gary’s Auto Service

Please join us at Christian Hospital’s Detrick Building Atrium for our 2020 Installation of the new board
and awards presentation luncheon on January 15th.

Mike Moehlenkamp, of Gary’s Auto, will be hosting the Business After Hours on January 16th, from 5-7 p.m.  This is a fun way to make community and professional connections.  If you can’t make it, there are still a variety of other opportunities to network and become involved.

I am excited as we embark upon this new journey and welcome any feedback and ideas that you may have to make our Chamber and community stronger.

Humbly,

Dr. Misty C. Farr
Chamber President
