Sierra Henley
Director of First Impressions
“As a young entrepreneur that had little to no knowledge of how to own a business before joining the Southaven Chamber team, I can attest to the great impact we have when supporting and providing resources for businesses. As a result, our unified business community contributes positively to Southaven as a whole through our government, citizens, and other businesses. It is great to be a part of a team that is dedicated to simply being of service to everyone.”
