Candidate for Vice President - Statement provided by Nominees

BUDDY BUCK * – Buddy Buck – Real Estate Agent
"I believe in connecting people and building a collaborative community where every member has an opportunity to thrive. With a deep commitment to Duvall and a passion for supporting local businesses, as Vice President, I'll bring a fresh vision to our Chamber. My experience as a content creator, social media expert, and Real Estate Agent uniquely positions me to strengthen our local network and help amplify Duvall's growth."

WADE HASBROUCK * – Wade Hasbrouck Photography
"I am a longtime resident of Duvall, 25+ years.  In 2021, I made the transition from a career in technology to something I am equally passionate about, Photography, and started my photography business.  I joined the Chamber of Commerce shortly after starting my business to get to know various business people in the community, build connections, and look for ways we can work together.  I joined the Board of Directors in 2022 to help out however I could, and continued again in 2023 and 2024.  During that time I have helped with various events, including Spring & Holiday Mixers and Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies and other projects.  I am excited to serve the chamber however the members see fit, whether that be as a Director or as Vice President.  If you feel I should be on the board in some form, I would encourage you to vote for me in both positions."
