Jerry Clark
Re/Max Advantage (N. Academy)
After 35 years in restaurants, I switched careers to my other passion, real estate, in 2004 and have not looked back.
I am a Colorado native, born in Boulder. I moved to Colorado Springs In 1981 and I absolutely LOVE this city!
In my free time, when/if free time happens, I enjoy hiking, camping, and traveling. I attend Woodmen Valley Chapel and I thank God every day for all I’ve received. I really enjoy having family and friends over for a barbeque! Spending time with my grandchildren can’t be beat!!
I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 32 years and I am lucky enough to have her as my assistant. We have been blessed with 3 boys and 3 wonderful grandchildren.
I have worked as a Realtor with RE/MAX for 4 years and my office is with RE/MAX Advantage. I have always enjoyed working with people. I am very sincere, dedicated and motivated to do what I can for anyone, which is why my catch phrase is: “There is no ‘ceiling’ on my efforts!”

Amy Scheller
RE/MAX Advantage
Amy Scheller joined the Greater Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce and became a Chamber Ambassador in 2005. She regularly participates as a panelist in the military’s Transitional Assistance Program alongside many of Colorado Springs most prominent business resource providers. Additionally, she holds the position as president of her Business Networking International chapter.
Her gifts as an advocate for small business owners like herself offer many opportunities for her to reach out to her colleagues as a coach, teacher and mentor. In her role as Chamber Ambassador she has helped to expand the positive influence the Chamber has had on the Springs business community.
“I thank you all for this wonderful recognition. My greatest joy is to see small business grow and thrive in our community. It’s a huge privilege to play even a small part in helping make that happen. The work that we do as Chamber Ambassadors makes the impact that much more profound. I enjoy my work as an Ambassador and hope to continue indefinitely.”

Erik Beard
Remington College
Erik Beard has been Director of Career Service for Remington College for four years. Erik believes being an Ambassador is an important way to show our businesses and other institutions that their contribution to our community is important. "The Chamber Ambassadors support Chamber members in a number of ways. A succesful business is more than just a profitable one. It's more than jobs and the revenue generated. Succesful businesses do more by supporting the community in ways that don't have to. It's one of the ways that we're all linked in this community whether we're in business, government or the non-profit sector. Giving back to the community to make it a better place to live is an integral part of how we're going to be viewed as a succesful community."

Anne has been involved in the Chamber for the past seven years, and participated in the Chamber's Amassador Club for most of those years.
It's an honor to be selected as an Ambassador of the Quarter. I feel my involvement is a way to give back to the business community and at the same time gain recognition for my employer, Garden of the Gods Bank. I have been involved in numerous city chambers during my banking career, and Colorado Springs is very fortunate to have such an active and vibrant Chamber of Commerce," remarks Anne.
