We appreciate Mark and everything he does for the Chamber!

Madison has worked at FASTSIGNS of Kankakee since she was 16. Once she graduated from Olivet Nazarene University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Marketing in May of 2022, she took on the challenge of becoming our local FASTSIGNS’ new Center Manager.
