State of the Chamber Awards

Welcome to the State of the Chamber Awards luncheon, we celebrate and honor our community and Chamber members during our Awards luncheon. All the awards are nomination based by the community and Chamber members. During this event we are at one of our beloved venues in Clinton County, it is catered by one of our Chamber member’s catering company and the awards are handed out during the end of the lunch. All are welcomed to come to the event to support our community and county. An invite is sent out months prior to all our Chamber members and posted on our social media pages.

Annual Chamber Golf Outing

The Annual Golf Outing is an invite to our Chamber Members and the Clinton County Community. It is our largest fundraising event of the year for the Clinton County Chamber of Commerce. We host this event every year with one of our local golf courses, golf carts and score cards are included. During the event we have some challenges for our golfers to compete in. One is a Hole-In-One shot worth $10,000, a longest drive, you can buy mulligans, and a longest putt. We start in the morning and go until lunch. We provide a catered lunch, awards, and a raffle drawling is during the lunch. Chamber Members are allowed a special price to the event, and we have many packages available for sponsorship, including signage, social media announcements, and prizes.

Lunch & Learn

The Clinton County Chamber of Commerce puts on an informational event every other month for our community and county. During these events we send out an invitation to our Chamber members, community and companies to attend the event. Every lunch is provided by either the Clinton County Chamber or the sponsor of the event. Guest speakers give a presentation about items that are relevant in our world for businesses and community. It is a great experience to participate in Clinton County.

Meet Our Directors

Brande Seibert — Membership & Communications Director

I maintain the membership database, give counsel regarding their business, such as organizational structure, and recruit new members. The goal is to maintain membership, retain those members and attract new ones. I also handle our social media to help promote new and existing members, scheduling for the chamber, regarding important meetings, conference rooms, and events. On our Iron Block side, I sign up new members, handle tours for potential members, assist with any questions or help they may need. We are excited about our growing number of chamber members! I look forward to meeting new people and learning about the businesses in our community. I may be originally from California, but my family and I moved to Clinton County in 1996 with my husband, Bill, where we met while he was stationed in California. We have raised two children, Chris & Rylee, both graduated from Frankfort High School, continuing their education in college. I bring a welcoming hand to our community and show the community why Clinton County is a great place to live.

Shan Sheridan — Chamber CEO & Economic Development Executive Director

I have been a grateful resident of Clinton County since 1983 and I have been engaged in a variety of community efforts. I joined the Chamber team in 2001 and became CEO in 2011. In my dual role of Chamber and Economic Development Director, I work with private business and public officials to strengthen the economic climate of Clinton County through business retention, expansion, and attraction.This includes communicating resources and information to business, industries and organizations throughout Clinton County. I also, work within two state regional economic development groups to promote and educate regional economic development. Partnering with elected officials to promote and advance the mission, that “Clinton County is a great place to live, work and play.

I live with my wife Tammy and we both enjoy family, especially our time with our grandkids.

Tina Stock — Office Manager

The most important responsibility as the office manager is to make sure when someone walks through our doors or calls in, I will make them feel welcome! I pride myself on my customer service. Some of my other responsibilities will be scheduling meetings in our conference rooms, scheduling meetings offsite, accounts payable, accounts receivable, help plan and assist in events, and any other day to day projects that come my way.

I was born and raised right here in Clinton County. I came from city government where I have worked for the last 12 years. I have always been heavily involved with organizations and volunteering in our community.

I have been married to my husband Don for 46 years. We have 4 children who have all graduated from Frankfort High School and college. I love spending time with our 10 grandchildren and our life long friends in our community!

In Memory of Jason Wilhite

“Clinton County lost a true champion, our dear friend & co-worker, Jason Wilhite, passed away. He embodied all that is good in human spirit, loved his community with everything he had and was always there when you needed a friend. He worked for the Clinton County Chamber of Commerce for 10 years as the Director of Membership & Events. His infectious smile and kind heart was only equaled to his servant attitude. He will be dearly missed.”
