Gina Imperato Steps Down as Cashmere Chamber of Commerce Manager

After serving the Cashmere community for six years, Gina Imperato will officially be leaving the Cashmere Chamber of Commerce on June 3, 2022.

“Over the last 6 years I’ve enjoyed many great experiences of community support and opportunities of growth and expansion at the Cashmere Chamber of Commerce.” Imperato said. “I know that my successor will be fortunate to connect with the Cashmere community as the Chamber grows and builds strong partnerships.”

Imperato started her managerial position at Cashmere’s Chamber of Commerce at the Annual Auction back in 2016. Before that, she had also worked at the Oak Harbor Chamber. The Auction and Recognition dinner was her last big event with the chamber.

“What a way to end. The event was a night of celebration and coming together as a community, it was well attended, and we reached our goal of over $20,000 raised!”

Imperato will be leaving the chamber in order to spend more time at Stones Gastropub, the restaurant her and her husband, Seth McKee, bought back in 2020. She plans on putting more focus on the restaurant, having a background in advertising, marketing, and business administration.

“I’m grateful for the support and the opportunities along the way. I have truly enjoyed the Chamber and value the feedback from our members and support from our board, the generous sponsors, community partners and the dedicated volunteers.”

 She will continue event planning for the Founders’ Days committee and the Cashmere Royalty, along with serving on the 9/11 Spirit of America Board and the Joyful Scholars Montessori board.
