May is such a beautiful time of the year! One of the reasons that it is my favorite
month is the Women in Business Scholarship luncheon. We received a record
number of scholarship applications with many extraordinary women candidates.
I want to express my gratitude to Nicole Meyer for her efforts as the Scholarship
Chair this year. She had several wonderful Women in Business members assist
her on the selection committee. Every luncheon you have attended, every
auction item you purchased and every raffle ticket sold goes toward the
scholarship program.
We are excited to honor the scholarship recipients at our upcoming luncheon on
Tuesday, May 14th
at the Blue Bird Restaurant. Please plan to attend and help us
celebrate! Plan to arrive early to be able to introduce yourselves to the
scholarship recipients and their honored guests.
Thanks again for your support this year.
Tammy Selley, President
2. Rikki
White
has
been
the
Events
Coordinator
at
the
Cache
Chamber
since
July
of
2012.
Her
main
responsibilities
in
this
position
are
to
plan
and
execute
exciting
events
for
the
Cache
Chamber
of
Commerce.
These
events
give
themembership
value
through
providing
networking
opportunities
with
other
businesses
and
with
the
Cache
Valley
community.
Rikki
was
born
and
raised
in
Evanston,
Wyoming.
After
High
School,
she
joined
the
US
Navy
as
a
Hospital
Corpsman,
and
loved
her
time
in
the
Navy.
While
in
active
duty
she
met
her
husband,
Matt,
who
is
originally
from
Indianapolis.
After
their
daughter
was
born,
Matt
reenlisted,
and
Rikki
continued
to
enjoy
their
Navy
life
from
the
perspective
of
Navy
wife.
Matt
served
for
10
years
during
which
time
Rikki
attended
college
and
worked
in
various
Department
of
Defense
postings.
Many
of
her
jobs
over
these
years
were
in
the
health
care
field-‐
CNA,
Massage
Therapist,
and
EMT.
When
Matt
separated
from
the
Navy
eight
years
ago,
the
Whites
decided
it
was
time
to
move
closer
to
family.
They
had
added
two
sons
to
their
family,
and
wanted
their
children
to
enjoy
a
sense
of
family
and
community.
They
chose
to
move
to
Cache
Valley
because
not
only
was
it
geographically
close
to
their
Wyoming
family,
but
they
felt
that
it
was
a
safe
and
family
friendly
environment.
They
have
been
here
for
over
seven
years.
In
2011,
Rikki
was
able
to
(finally)
complete
her
college
education
earning
a
bachelor’s
degree
in
Information
Technology
with
a
focus
on
multi-‐media
and
visual
design.
She
brings
this
education
to
her
work
at
the
Cache
Chamber
of
Commerce
in
many
ways-‐
fixing
the
simpler
networking
issues
that
arise,
using
graphic
design
work
in
marketing
campaigns,
and
increasing
the
Chamber’s
social
media
presence.
Rikki
loves
working
with
the
Cache
Chamber
of
Commerce.
She
says
the
people
she
meets
every
day
inspire
her
with
their
business
sense
and
drive
to
make
the
Cache
Valley
Community
better
for
all
of
us.
Finally,
among
all
of
the
positive
people
she
meets
and
learns
from
everyday,
she
feels
so
honored
to
be
a
part
of
Cache
Valley’s
Women
in
Business.
WIB
has
been
very
beneficial
to
her
through
the
relationships
she
has
been
able
to
build
with
other
like-‐minded
women
in
Cache
Valley
who
like
her,
are
struggling
to
juggle
family
and
career.
Rikki
has
learned
so
much
from
all
of
the
women
about
how
to
do
this
juggling
act
a
little
more
successfully.
