Welcome new board member!

Hillary Held

 

The Highland Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce Hillary Held as our

newest addition to our Chamber Board of Directors!

Hillary just celebrated her 6th Year at Highland Parks and Rec where she oversees the fitness center and group fitness classes. Among those duties, she schedules fitness center attendants, daycare staff and party hosts, planning and coordinating Young at Heart trips, organizing the PBJ Festivals and leads fundraising efforts and planning for the 4th of July Fireworks!

 

In her spare time, Hillary coaches the 7th grade Highland Middle School Girls Basketball Team and enjoys playtime with her dog Knox!

 

Hillary was previously a Chamber Ambassador where she was very active in the Chamber and worked with us on many events and helping to promote and welcome businesses. Hillary will carry this through to the Chamber as a Board Member and will continue to be a great asset to the Highland Community!
