We had our first Ambassador Visits of the year last week! First, New Member Hannah Aasen with Hannah Helps through Colonial Life came to the chamber office to meet the Ambassadors. Her company helps employers with attraction and retention of employees by providing voluntary benefits that help their employees prepare for the unexpected, including accident insurance, dental insurance, and much more.    Then, the Ambassadors took a road trip to visit Fairfax Asphalt at their office in Nowthen. New owner, Bryan Bieniek took over the company last year. Fairfax Asphalt provides customers with quality and expertise in laying asphalt driveways and parking lots for more than five decades. With precise grading, prep work, and attention to detail, they cover all aspects of asphalt services. Welcome new members! We’re thrilled to have you as part of our chamber community - make sure to check them out today!
