CONGRATULATIONS ... To Stephannie Finley
CONGRATULATIONS ... To Stephannie Finley, of the Greater Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, for being named as the SCWCC's 2009 Accolades Business Leader of the Year. Ms. Finley is President of the Chamber Governmental Affairs and Public Policy Division of the Greater Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, and a principal staff member of its Political Action Committee.
Serving on many boards and committees - including Hope Online Learning Academy, Colorado Springs Conservatory, Citizens for Effective Government and the Urban League of the Pikes Peak Region - Stephannie is a very active and dynamic member of the community. She was recognized as one of ten “Women of Influence” by the Colorado Springs Business Journal in 2008, and her work during the past election season was highly regarded by the newly formed Pikes Peak Regional Business Partnership.
Following a early career shift into the world of politics, she gained considerable experience at all levels of government, including the executive branch in Governor Bill Owens’ Administration as Chief of Staff to Lt. Governor Jane Norton, as well as serving on the Presidential Advance Team for the White House in the early 90s. But it was working with Chancellor Shockley and the UCCS team to partner effectively with the community that brought her to the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce in 2006. [ view bio | LinkedIn ]
The SCWCC is pleased to add Stephannie's name to an impressive list of community leaders, as the 16th annual winner of the Accolades Business Leader of the Year award.
