The Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce held their annual Awards Banquet on Thursday, March 31, 2022 at the Boat House Wine Co.  

Janis Traughber, Chamber Board Member, presented the Woman of the Year Award.

"After narrowing down who will receive an award, we go to friends and family to get additional information about the award recipient. This year we asked this next recipient’s friend what her occupation is and she immediately responded with “seriously, put down Professional Volunteer” and If you were to ask this recipient directly, she will give you the same answer.

"Our next award goes to someone who has volunteered her time so much in the community that she has become a professional at it. She began her volunteering career back in college when joining Alpha Phi Omega, which was a service sorority. She is now Vice President of the Bloomfield High School Alumni Association, Vice President of Bloomfield Parent’s as Teachers, has directed numerous church Christmas programs and has led 10 years of Vacation Bible School at Trinity United Baptist Church of Bloomfield. She has a deep love for children and has been instrumental in leading them to Christ with all the work she does teaching at church."

"This recipient has a huge and generous heart. She is always willing to help others and jumps right in without thinking twice. She truly has been a blessing to so many in our community through the years."

Congratulations Tracey Tippen as Woman Of The Year.
