COLLEEN SLINKARD TAKES HOME THIS YEAR’S AMCHAM ‘EXTRA MILE’ AWARD 

Last night, at the AmCham Charter Gold Christmas Cocktails at the Sazerac Club, the AmCham Board presented the annual ‘Extra Mile’ Award 2024 to Colleen Slinkard.

Colleen has gone above and beyond to support the development of the Atlantic Club, offering her time, expertise, and unwavering commitment to ensure its success. Her efforts have been instrumental in developing this initiative as a meaningful platform for fostering transatlantic connections. During the summer of 2024, she generously offered her time and expertise to sit down with Daria Sivovol, AmCham CEO, survey the club members and work on the club’s mission and strategy.

In addition, she has been an active and engaged member of AmCham. She regularly participates in AmCham events, outreach trips, company visits, bringing enthusiasm, professionalism, and insight that enrich our community and inspire others to get involved. Her willingness to go the extra mile, coupled with her passion for building bridges and strengthening relationships, makes her a deserving candidate for this award.

ABOUT THE ‘EXTRA MILE’ AWARD

The Extra Mile Award is given out annually as the recognition for extraordinary contribution by a member-company or individual towards the chamber’s activities, events, visits or special meetings.  It is given for contributions that are beyond the member-company’s specific partner expectations, that exemplify AmCham values, and that have a significant positive impact on the chamber’s activity portfolio, as well as all participating chamber members.
