During the 27th Annual Ambassador Breakfast, the South Lake Chamber of Commerce announced the Ambassador of the year. Voted by her peers, we are pleased to recognize Lori Wuchevich as 2022 Ambassador of the Year.

Lori has shown exemplary efforts through volunteerism and providing a familiar face at all Chamber events. One of the first things she did before launching her business was join the South Lake Chamber. Lori is an advocate for the Chamber and believes the best way to grow your business is to help others grow theirs while building relationships. She has attended every ribbon cutting over the last 18 months. With over 18 years of experience in the bookkeeping and accounting field, Lori and her family moved from Chicago, Illinois and settled in Minneola in 2017. In 2018, she started her own bookkeeping firm where she serves clients here in South Lake and around the nation. Lori produces the monthly chamber financials for the Chamber Board; her level of expertise has gained complements from the Chamber auditor and board members. The CFO of a major local business said, “These are the best organized financials I have ever received.”

Lori was also recognized as the 2022 Ambassador Co-chair who will assume Ambassador Chair in 2023.
