✨Longmont Holiday Specials: November 2024✨
With the holidays rapidly approaching, we asked our members to submit their special holiday deals, events, and more. Take a look at what's coming up this holiday season.

With heartfelt appreciation, we announce the depar

With heartfelt appreciation, we announce the departure of Karen Stallard, our Chief Operating Officer, who has given over eight years of service, energy, and vision to the Longmont Chamber. Karen’s contributions have left an undeniable mark on our organization and our community.

Karen's deep passion for Longmont has been evident in every project she's taken on since starting at the Chamber, from helping to create one of the largest recurring community festivals in Longmont to spearheading the initiative to call nearly 700 businesses during the height of the pandemic. Her strategic leadership and commitment have played a pivotal role in strengthening the Chamber's mission and enhancing our operations.

Karen has a rare ability to see the connections that will have the most meaningful, positive impact on our community. Perhaps her most significant contribution to our organization has been how she redefined the relationship between businesses and the Longmont Chamber, emphasizing creative collaboration with partners and members to build a stronger, more unique, and more intentional network within our community of Proud Longmonsters. (It's worth noting, too, that the Proud Longmonster design you may be familiar with grew from Karen's idea to create a visual identity that embodies the heart and character of Longmont’s people.)

Karen will soon be joining UCHealth Northern Colorado Foundation as their Foundation Operations Officer, where she will continue to make a meaningful impact. We are excited about her new journey, thankful for her time at the Chamber and send her off with our best wishes.

We hope you join us at our farewell gathering for Karen on her last day, Tuesday, 11/26 from 4-6 pm. RSVP with the link in our bio!
