March 2023 Member of the Month:

Kristina DaSilva

Since the month of March celebrates International Women’s Day, we felt it would be most appropriate to applaud Kristina DaSilva for her unwavering support and volunteerism. Kristina joined the Chamber in 2015, however she became most involved in 2018 when she joined the Women’s Council and then became Chair in 2022. “I was honored to be able to work alongside our incredible Board members to strengthen our programs and increase membership. I am proud of the work that our team does to develop opportunities for women in business to connect, cultivate relationships, and inspire one another,” she says. In addition to her involvement with the Women’s Council, Kristina also participates in the Social Impact Council activities and recently was guest speaker for the March program, which focused on the power of civic participation. To read the full article about Kristina, click here.


Coordinated by the Ambassador Committee, those selected for Member of the Month have gone above and beyond in assisting both the organization and its members. Anyone can submit a nomination; however the recipient must either conduct business with fellow members, refer prospective members or be actively involved on a Council, Committee, Leads Group, Board, Sponsor/Host an event. You can nominate a member here.
