Tigard Chamber Names 2011 Shining Stars Chamber Volunteer of the Year

The Tigard Area Chamber of Commerce (TACC) is pleased to announce that Dan Snyder, an ACN Independent Representative is the 2011 Shining Stars “Bert Tousey” Chamber Volunteer of the Year.  The Chamber Volunteer of the Year Award honors a Chamber member who has volunteered many hours of time, talent and energy to the success and growth of the Tigard Chamber.  Bert Tousey and his example of Chamber volunteerism is commitment at its best.  This person is an example of an active member who has sustained their efforts on behalf of the Chamber over a long period of time.  By their efforts, they have made this organization more effective in serving the Tigard community. Dan has been an active, supportive member of the Tigard Chamber since 2008, rapidly getting involved beyond just membership.  Dan joined the Tigard Chamber Board of Directors in 2009 and expanded his involvement into the Tigard Chamber Membership Directory Subcommittee in 2010 letting us leverage his vast experience in publishing.  Dan has served as the Bowl-O-Rama events chair 2010 and 2011 and as a member of the Membership Subcommittee since 2010.  His enthusiasm for the chamber and for membership has been an added plus to this committee. Additionally, as a licensed pourer, Dan has assisted at numerous chamber Open Houses, and member After Hours events by pouring wine, supporting the chamber and its members.  Selfless with his time, Dan is willing to do anything within the chamber as exemplified by him covering the chamber front desk once per month for the entire day so the chamber CEO could attend a leadership seminar focused on helping Tigard Chamber restart its’ Leadership Institute.  Dan can also be counted on to be at most if not all Tigard Chamber networking events actively promoting the chamber and its members!  Dan also is a volunteer Assistant Coach for the Tigard High School Girls Tennis Team and has enlisted community support for repair of the High School courts. The Bert Tousey, Chamber Volunteer of the Year award will be formally presented at the 2011 Shining Stars Community Awards Banquet sponsored by Platinum Title Sponsor West Coast Bank and held on Saturday, May 7th, 2011 from 6-9 p.m. at Embassy Suites – Washington Square, event location host.
