Business Continues to Bloom in Montrose

 It has been one busy springtime with our 3^rd Annual MVCC Egg My Home event and the 8^th Annual Montrose Craft Beer Fest wrapping up this month. All of this in addition to my return from maternity leave plus business mixers and ribbon cutting ceremonies.

I am delighted to be back in my position as executive director and want to give a big thanks to Molly Burke for filling in for me while I was away bonding with my newborn baby girl. Molly and I look forward to working as a team alongside our MVCC board of directors to highlight our business members while continuing to push forward the MVCC mission. Stay tuned for information on our centennial and installation and awards dinner this summer!
