WENDY RODGERS - Beavercreek Chamber of Commerce
Learn why we voted Wendy as a "Force for Good" Champion
I chose Wendy for this award because of her passion and energy for the Beavercreek community and its businesses. She truly wants to see everyone succeed and is always looking for ways to help.
As a host of our Beavercreek Chamber of Commerce Coffee with Champions, she is enthusiastic and adamant that it cannot be boring. Each week, when you walk in for a workshop, you’ll find upbeat music playing, prizes to be given out, and even an entertaining “spin the wheel” game.
Wendy’s group likes to have fun, but they can also be serious when the moment calls for it. They’ve even gone out into the community for a couple “force for good” projects.
I recently got a chance to ask Wendy a few questions about Coffee with Champions, her career, and the one thing she wants people to know about her.
