Michelle Hammontree, customer service representative for Mountain Fresh Hospitality, earned the Sevierville Chamber of Commerce Friendship Award for August at the recent Coffee Talk event. Hammontree has worked with Mountain Fresh Hospitality for four months.
“The camaraderie that is experienced with other chamber members is utterly refreshing. This group is so supportive of area businesses and the lessons that one can learn from the more mature business people is priceless,” says Hammontree. “It’s an honor to be a member and have the opportunity to participate in Chamber events.”
As a thank you for her hard work, Hammontree received $100 from Cariten and a plaque courtesy of Sign Master.
Sevierville Chamber of Commerce membership coordinator Jim McGill says, “Since Michelle is new to the Chamber, she is working really hard to build her business network by attending the networking events as often as possible.”
Sevierville Chamber of Commerce Friendship Awards are based on points accumulated monthly from attending Chamber functions and volunteering as well as bringing inactive members and potential new members to Chamber events. Monthly points will go towards determining the Chamber Friend of the Year Award recipient.
The next Chamber Friendship Award will be presented during Coffee Talk on October 19, 2010, hosted by Knoxville TVA Employees Credit Union. Coffee Talk begins at 8am at the Sevierville Civic Center. Guests are welcome to attend and learn more about the Sevierville Chamber of Commerce. For more information, contact Jim McGill at (865) 453-6411.
