"Pleasant Hill Chamber of Commerce is a valued partner in the success of our business, Pennie Carroll & Associates. This was the first Chamber that I joined 22 years ago when I was new in Real Estate. From a shy first time member, to Board Member to President of the Pleasant Hill Chamber, the journey has been rewarding with opportunities to grow as a business owner through valued connections, give back to our wonderful community, mentor new members and watch the success as we all grow together. Thank you Pleasant Hill Chamber Members, Becca and the Directors that were before her. Cheers to many more years!" - Pennie Carroll, Owner
