The Chamber of Commerce has a brand new Intern for all of the 2019-2020 school year. I want to welcome Riley McGough, a Senior at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School. Really looking forward to working with Riley, who has extensive skills in social media, which will help the Chamber continue to expand it’s promotional services to it’s 350 business members.
And I’m so pleased we are back working with the Education Exchange and I have to send out a big “Thank You” to Susan Graves, former regional manager for Oxford Federal Credit Union, who upon retirement from the bank, then took on the job of building the Education Exchange back into a resource for students interested in getting practical business experience. We couldn’t be happier, and if you have a business, profit or non-profit that has interest in an internship, give me a call and I’ll fill you in.
