President’s Award
2025 President’s Award Presentation – Kathie Fink
Each year this award is selected by the Chamber President and honors an individual or business for their extraordinary contributions to the Chamber and the Youth Enrichment Fund. This individual has been a familiar face of the Chamber and YEF for many years and has served on the chamber and YEF boards. Her leadership has helped the Chamber grow and thrive - building strong and meaningful partnerships and friendships. This individual’s contributions have shaped the organization’s identity and legacy and as she transitions out of her role, this moment serves as a tribute to the countless ways she has elevated the Chamber and the community it serves.
It is with great pleasure as the President of the Board of Directors for the Santa Fe Springs Chamber of Commerce, I present Kathie Fink as the recipient of this year’s President’s Award
