Next Tom Lancia, Executive Director for the Creve Coeur-Olivette Chamber, presented the Chamber Volunteer of the Year Award to Anna Marie Wehr. This award is given every year to an individual for their involvement in and dedication to the Creve Coeur-Olivette Chamber of Commerce. Anna Marie is a Client Experience Officer for Enterprise Bank and Trust and has served on the Chamber's Board of Directors since 2018 and served as the President in 2021. During this past past year she served on the Event's Committee for our Rock' N Roll Bingo, Awards Dinner & Auction, Game Night, and volunteered to work for both of our golf tournaments. She also serves on our Communications Committee where we awarded a Health Care Professional and Educational Professional of the Year for the first time. Anna Marie is a joy to work with and celebrate with. She is a great representative for our Chamber and inviting new members as well.
