Post Falls leaders, please, take a bow

The greatest gift anyone can leave behind is to positively impact the lives of others. When you add value to other people’s lives, you are unknowingly leaving footprints on the sands of time that live on, a lasting legacy.

For nearly three decades the Post Falls Chamber of Commerce has been coming together to celebrate community leaders who leave their unique mark along the way as our community grows and flourishes. We were thrilled to celebrate some deserving community leaders at the Community Recognition Gala presented by Numerica Credit Union.

Congratulations to Coldwell Banker-Schneidmiller Realty, Heritage Award; Heritage Health, Spirit of Post Falls Award; Upscale Mail, Small Business of the Year; Seright’s Ace Hardware, Business of the Year; Scot Frazer, Volunteer of the Year; and Ryan Davis, Citizen of the Year.

March is an exciting month for the Post Falls Chamber. We are honored to welcome Claudia Miewald, Director of Behavioral Health Services at Kootenai Health, as the keynote speaker at our March 19 Connect 4 Lunch meeting.

March 20 is our Annual Reverse Job Fair presented by the Business & Education Committee. Last year seniors from Post Falls High School, New Vision High School and Genesis Preparatory Academy were awarded over $13,000 worth of college scholarships funded by local businesses.

We couldn’t be more proud of this annual event, hosted, planned and executed by the Business & Education Committee. Event Chair Jessie Morrow, Kootenai County Fire & Rescue, is well underway with planning the event.

Looking ahead... Wednesday, April 24 is our Community Business Fair. Thank you to our Grand Sponsor, Northwest Specialty Hospital. This is a wonderful event to promote commerce in our community with 90+ businesses under one roof. Awards will be given for: Best Booth, Marketing Guru, Most Creative, and Best Food.
