Michael Lasson
First State Bank Mortgage

With my involvement with Association of Realtors and my job, I have served on several committees assisting with different events at the betterment of the Association. I love our community and would like to be involved with pro-moting our beautiful Lake Area.

Roena "Ro" Witt
Dierbers

My family and I relocated to the lake in 2004 and I am currently the Store Di-rector for Dierbergs in Osage Beach and have been here since February of 2013. I served on the Liberal Kansas 5 State Fair Livestock Committee for one and a half years until we relocated to the lake. We were responsible for providing a budget, sug-gesting ways to promote and increase the livestock attendance numbers, attend board meetings, and many other duties. The opportunity has presented itself and is an indicator that this may be a good time to become more involved. Dierbergs has participated in or helped sponsor several Lake Events, in which I have donated my time to. I genuinely love living at the lake and have a great desire to see growth in business, economy and community. I will not claim to have a great deal of experience or knowledge about serving on a Chamber Board but I can offer my dedicated service.

Ron Dodge
RE/MAX

Hello, my name is Ron Dodge with Loto Living—RE?MAX Lake of the Ozarks. I am a realtor serving the Lake of the Ozarks Area. My wife, Jan, and I moved to the Lake in 2017 as I was the manager of UPS in Camdenton and Rolla. We decided that since I was retiring from UPS after 35 years that we would move to the Lake to start a new chapter of our life. I have been on the board of the United Way of South-Central Missouri. I was on the board on CASA of South-Central Missouri. I was the chairman of the annual UPS / United Way benefit golf tournament for 12 years raising over $100,000 for the United Way o f South-Central Missouri. I was also the chairman of the annual Boy Scouts of America golf tournament, raising money for the Boy Scout Troops in Southwest Missouri.

After I retired from UPS, I decided to start a second career selling real estate at THE Lake of the Ozarks. My wife and I have been vacationing here since we were kids so it is easy for me to sell the lake. As I was looking to get more involved in the Lake Com-munity, I joined the Lake Ozark Noon Rotary Club in 2019. I am currently the Sergeant at Arms and Vice President of the Rotary Club. I am currently on the board of RE/MAX Lake of the Ozarks charitable Foundation.

I believe that I will bring years of philanthropic and board experience to help grow our Lake community. I do not join organizations to simply have the title, I join them to help grow the organization and enhance the brand. I really appreciate your considera-tion and look forward to helping grow our chamber in any capacity that the board sees fit.

Tony Stuecken
TCS

I grew up in a small town outside of Jefferson City, MO and graduated from Fatima High School. Upon graduation, I joined the US Army for a term of 5 years that took me to SC, GA, South Korea, and ending my term at the Pentagon. I then took a position as a Network Engineer with BAE Systems staffing for NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. I lived in St. Louis from 2004-2017 when I moved to Jefferson City to care for my ailing grandmother. I started a sales job with my current employer (TCS) to have the flexibility to care for my grandmother. I gave her two years of living in her own home until she passed in 2019. I then moved to my current home in Rocky Mount. Now I am trying to build my business position while trying to give back to the community. I recently joined the Camdenton Chamber and I am slotted to hold the presidency of my BNI Chapter – Lake Business Builders. I also hold the presidency of my neighborhood of 27 households. I have assisted with the Duck Drop and sat on the committee for the Magic Dragon Car Show this past year. Thanks for your consideration.

Cierra Grein
Keller Williams The Grein Team

I’m proud to say that I am a Lake Ozark native, graduating from School of the Osage. After I received my college education in Kansas City, I took a sabbatical for several years. I was excited to return to the community I had learned to love so much. While starting to open my real estate business, I took the Program Director position at the Tri-County YMCA. I had proudly served as Vice President for one year and moved up to the President role for 2 tears, and now serve on the executive committee board.

As a Broker / Owner of The Grein Team, the first thing I did was join the chamber once I moved into my own office at the Cliffside Centre.

I believe I will be a great asset to the Board of Directors of the Lake Area Chamber. I feel my experience in the local community, real estate and sincere excitement to be a director makes me a great choice.

In closing it has been my goal to move up into a position onto the board. I understand the commitment and hard work it takes

Randy Moseley
GFI Digital

Growing up in the Lake Area has been a blessing in becoming the business owner I am today. I developed a strong work ethic with rural values, while acquiring the education and business savvy that are usually developed in larger cities. My careers with the City of Osage Beach and Camden County give me the contacts and experience with our local and state governments and infrastructure to really help the business community. I would like to participate more in the Chamber to better know the other members. I see them as valued resources more so than just business partners and would like to put all my effort in using those resources to make the Lake Area the best it can be.
