The Tullahoma Area Chamber of Commerce celebrated 100 years of membership in the community Friday night with its Centennial Membership celebration, held at the Manchester-Coffee County Conference Center. In total, eight individuals and businesses were honored by the chamber for their work with the chamber and the community at large.

Included among the honorees were Ascend Federal Credit Union, which was named CEO Business Partner of the Year, with special recognition to Amy Taylor, Business Development Coordinator.

Ascend is the CEO (Creating Educational Opportunities) Partner for Bel-Aire Elementary School. The Bees themselves recorded a message recognizing Ascend for its work in the school, providing them resources for their education throughout the year. Taylor accepted the award herself, affirming her love for Bel-Aire and its students and continued relationship between the two.
