March Involved Member of the Month

The Chamber would like to recognize the March Involved Member of the Month, Jen Peterson-Donaghy, On Target Promotions/AIA. Jen is being recognized for her efforts with the Taste of Westerville Committee. Her dedication, assistance in leading the team and willingness to lend a helping hand when needed was very much appreciated and noticed! It is because of Jen's hardwork, along with the rest of the committee, that this year's Taste of Westerville featured a sold out crowd, a great line-up of food providers, beers and wines and an overall great time for all in attendance! We look forward to working with Jen and On Target Promotions/AIA for many more years to come. Jen truly is an asset to the community.
