Angie Whitcomb, Shakopee Chamber President, has taken a new position with the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce.

In today's podcast, Angie and I talk about her time as the Chamber President and the good - and bad - of her ten years here in Shakopee.

I can't thank Angie enough for her work on behalf of Shakopee businesses and our community. Best of luck in your new role!
