??Join us in giving a warm welcome to this week's #TeamSpotlight Monica Santamaria- Program & Event Manager ?? Monica Santamaria, MBA We are thrilled to have Monica be part of our mission as she plays a crucial part with her extensive experience and knowledge in event production. ?? She has a diverse background from private banking to non-profits, and launching her own company in 2009 MS Art Show . ? ?We asked Monica to share some words on what she loves the most about working with the chamber, and what she is looking forward to: "Whether it’s orchestrating a concert or a wedding, I am adept at putting together high-quality events within a tight timeframe. My diverse background and hands-on experience ensure that I can deliver outstanding results and create memorable experiences across various types of events. Most recently, I served as a Booking and Program Manager for a nightclub in Miami, and as a Senior Coordinator for Distinguished Events at the American Cancer Society. I am looking forward to elevating our event portfolio and enhance our impact, by focusing on several key areas: comprehensive programs, brand expansion, cultural representation, and building trust & opportunities. By focusing on these areas, we can ensure our events and programs not only support but also celebrate the diverse mosaic of St. Louis, while promoting mutual respect and understanding within our community." ??We appreciate Monica's hard work and dedication with the chamber and our Hispanic/ Latino community. Want to see her in action? Make sure to join us at our Annual Golf Classic next week. She has a lineup of new fun activities and opportunities for players to enjoy. Thank you Monica for elevating our event experience!???? #hccstl #hccstaff #hccenergized #latinosenstl
