2013 Ambassador of the Year Award Presented to Dona Bonnett

I am very honored to receive the 2013 Ambassador of the Year Award which was presented last Friday evening by the Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce at the Annual Chamber Banquet.  This award would not have been possible without the hard work and support of each an every one of our Corporate Ambassadors and the support of the administration of the Chamber.  It has been such an awesome experience working with such wonderful people during the last months developing this new program.  I am so thankful for all of the relationships that have developed and look forward to who will be our next Ambassador of the Year.  Let’s Rock & Roll in 2014!
