Help us give a big Chamber welcome to Painting with a Twist! 🎉 We recently celebrated their new ownership and officially welcomed their team to the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce.

Their new ownership marks an exciting next chapter for the business as they continue providing a fun space for Springfield-area residents to come together and create.

Congratulations to Amber Mueller, our Ambassador of the Month! 🎉

Amber has been a Chamber Ambassador for four months and has quickly embraced welcoming new businesses, cheering on member milestones and building genuine connections with her fellow Ambassadors.

“My favorite part of being an Ambassador is getting to see firsthand how Springfield is growing and having the opportunity to be part of welcoming that growth. I love celebrating new businesses as they open their doors, cheering on the milestones of our existing businesses, and building genuine relationships with fellow Ambassadors along the way. Going beyond being a patron to being a participant.”

Thank you, Amber, for showing up for our members and helping welcome Springfield’s growth!
