Welcome New Board Member

The Gold Beach Chamber welcomes Tammy Oliver of South Beach Mercantile and Wild Rivers News Group as the newest member of the board of directors. Tammy is very active in the community especially with Girl Scouts and is a welcome addition to the board. She began her two-year term just in time to jump-in and help out with the 4th of July Party at the Port and we really appreciate her hard work and willingness to help.



Subsequently we regretfully had to say farewell to Carolyn Trigueiro as her term on the board ended in June. Carolyn served for many years in many capacities for the Chamber and we appreciate all of her hard work and dedication to the Chamber. Carolyn was the quiet “wonder woman” who served on the Wine Festival Committee and who single-handedly took care of the entire art show at the festival. She has recently taken a new job at CFCU and also serves on the Gold Beach Promotions Committee. We wish her the very best in her new endeavors.
