The Chamber has hired Brandy Wilson through Freeport High School's Executive Internship program to assist in the organization's DeFuniak Springs office. Brandy will provide assistance to walk-in customers and callers to the office while learning about the financial business management processes of the Chamber.

The intent of the Executive Internship Program is to provide students with a realistic career experience which will better prepare them for their future endeavors. While participating in the activities, students will demonstrate their ability to utilize time management skills, technology skills, writing abilities, as well as demonstrate their ability to apply knowledge of their chosen career.

Business sponsors serve as the students' mentor and provide an environment that will foster positive professional growth and development for each student. Area businesses interested in participating in the program can call Wendy Carter at Freeport High School, 835-2035 extension 254.
