Kathleen Novetsky
Shelly is amazing at what she does. Her ability to lead, coordinate, synchronize, empower and promote the Chamber, it's members, business owners and residents in the Greater Royal Oak area in the most professional and positive manner is incredible to witness. Shelly's knowledge base and expert networking brings together hundreds of people in the community in which she serves. I have had the pleasure of working and consulting with Shelly on various Chamber events and boards for many years, and her expertise and leadership make all tasks and future planing run smoothly. She must wear 20 hats daily to cover all the roles she successfully orchestrates. Shelly can get things done and is always bringing people together for a common purpose. It is my privilege know and work alongside Shelly.

Nothing but high marks for Shelly! As the Chapter 18 Mentor for SCORE (the SBA's Service Corps Of Retired Executives) I'm frequently in touch with Shelly and the business owners of the great City of Royal Oak she so beautifully services through the Chamber of Commerce. She is a role model for all who will follow and local business owners have nothing but praise for her.
