Meet Our Team
The Steamboat Springs Chamber has a team of small, full-time employees managing the economic development, destination stewardship, and community development departments. To get in touch with one of our staff members, please email info@steamboatchamber.com.
Sarah’s responsibilities at the Chamber include oversight and administration of all operations of the Chamber. She also partners with the City of Steamboat Springs, Routt County, and numerous affiliated organizations. Sarah works with the Board of Directors to create an annual program of work and budget to guide the efforts of the tremendous Chamber staff.
Sarah is originally from Steamboat Springs and enjoys time in the sunshine, live music, camping, tubing the river, watching the latest movies, and is an avid happy hour enthusiast. Sarah is a Leadership Steamboat Graduate and sits on several local boards.
Laura is responsible for developing and leading destination management, stewardship, and communications plans for the Chamber. The Chamber Destination Development Committee helps Laura and her team create an annual destination plan which includes stewardship, research, and promotion. She also leads the Chamber’s internal and external communications efforts.
Laura grew up in Upstate New York and made her way to Steamboat to live the Colorado dream. Out of the office, she spends as much time outside as she can, trail running, mountain biking and hiking all over Steamboat and around Colorado. Laura also enjoys reading, traveling near and far, and spending time with her two favorite people: her husband and daughter. She’s passionate about empowering kids and volunteers as a senior mentor with Partners of Routt County and Girl Scouts.
Cecilia oversees the Chamber's Business Development Department, leading staff and initiatives that create value for members and drive revenue for the organization. She manages a wide range of events including the July 4 Parade, Steamboat Marathon, Women’s Leadership Summit, Empower Yampa Valley Conference, Economic Summit and more, while spearheading new programs to support the Chamber’s strategic goals. Cecilia also collaborates with the CEO on Chamber Foundation programs, grants, and partnerships.
Originally from Wisconsin (Go Packers!), Cecilia loves adventure—whether it’s snowboarding, surfing, hiking, or camping—and enjoys pairing every adventure with great food and celebratory drinks. She is raising her two sons in Steamboat Springs and stays actively involved in the community through First Impressions, the Soroco Preschool advisory council, the Steamboat Young Professionals Network, and as an advisor for the UCCS Women in Leadership Program.
Kenzie is the Digital Content Manager at the Chamber and is responsible for managing and distributing the Chamber’s digital assets. She works within the Destination Development team to drive our destination tourism goals, which includes maintaining and developing the Steamboat Chamber website, leading the visitor-facing social media pages, and managing the visitor emails and app.
Kenzie grew up spending summers in the Yampa Valley at her family's home near the Flat Tops. Upon her graduation from Colorado State University, she made the move to Routt County to live the mountain lifestyle. She loves all things the Valley has to offer - running, skiing, camping, hiking, paddle-boarding, fly-fishing, and backpacking - and brings her dogs Maximus & Queso on every adventure possible. She also sits on the Young Professionals Network Board.
Annaleigh is the Communications Manager at the Chamber, responsible for crafting and executing communications to the Yampa Valley community and our Chamber members through various mediums such as email, social media, press, and the website. She collaborates with all departments to strategically promote Chamber events and membership opportunities, conduct the annual report and special projects, and lead the year-long Shop Local campaign.
Annaleigh moved to Steamboat Springs at the end of 2022 and has lived in Colorado for six years. She grew up in Florida and earned a B.S. in Public Relations at the University of Florida in 2016. She loves to spend her free time exploring the outdoors (mostly skiing, backpacking, and camping road trips), visiting with friends and family, and discovering new places around the world whenever she can. She is also an active member of the Young Professionals Network, volunteers with Continental Divide Trail Coalition, and is a mentor with Partners for Youth.
Carol is the Finance Manager here at the Chamber. Her responsibilities include all thing financial: accounts payable and receivable, payroll, related insurance tasks, budgeting, financial reporting, audits, and support of our membership and events teams.
Beginning her career in software engineering, Carol honed her financial skills working with her husband’s electronic design and manufacturing company, as well as volunteering as the accountant for her son’s hockey team and Cub Scout Pack.
Originally from Michigan, via San Diego, she stays active by hiking and snowshoeing with her dog, Zumba dance, and loves travel adventures, especially if live music is involved.
Alexandra oversees the Chamber's Membership Department, leading initiatives that foster connections, create value for members, and support the growth of local businesses. With more than 15 years of experience in marketing, communications, and business development, she is passionate about building relationships and creating opportunities that help the Yampa Valley community thrive.
Originally from New Jersey, Alex moved to Steamboat Springs in high school. After leaving for college, she returned to Colorado and eventually made her way back to Steamboat. She loves bringing people together, supporting small businesses, and creating meaningful community experiences. Outside of work, you can find her running, skiing, and enjoying time with friends and family.
