Tell us a bit about what you appreciate about them as an RCB:

Jeff is so kind and thoughtful. After only meeting him a few times, I felt so welcome in my new community and valued in his company. He is a true convener and is able to embrace a leadership role to all. He is our Chamber’s Board President and always willing to sacrifice his time and energy to make our community better. He gives 110% and spends the same amount of time, if not more, each week, as any member of our full-time, paid Chamber staff. He has so much on his plate, but never fails to put his community first in everything he does. He has also been a major advocate to promote tourism for the first time in Prineville and Crook County, understanding its important role in community and economic development. We would be lost without his compassionate and wise mentorship. Even though I have only been in Prineville for two months, I can’t think of a more deserving person of this recognition. Thanks for all that you do, Jeff! I know I speak for all of us at the Chamber and in Prineville when I say you embody the true meaning of community service.
