The Community Impact award is intended to recognize a person or group of people for changing the landscape of Marshalltown.

Also receiving an award was Pete Drury, who was named the 2026 Rising Leader, which honors someone who is dedicated to making Marshalltown a better place to live.

Better late than never!

Last Wednesday marked 7 years of Sarah Smith with the Marshalltown Area Chamber of Commerce. As Vice President for the Chamber, Sarah has been an incredible part of this team, and we are so grateful for everything she brings to this organization every single day.

She also, for the record, knows exactly how to make a work anniversary post. She just chose not to last Wednesday. Her boss noticed.

Seven years, Sarah. Congratulations, we are lucky to have you!

Chamber members! See you tomorrow at Caffeinated Conversations hosted by Karl of Marshalltown!
