Molly Wallace is originally from Montgomery, and she joined the chamber as its new Project Manager in October.
The Mountain Brook Chamber of Commerce welcomes Molly Wallace as its new project manager. A native of Montgomery, Wallace attended Furman University and comes to the chamber with a background in various nonprofits. Many locals may recognize Wallace from her previous role as assistant director at Camp Skyline in Mentone, in which she recruited new camp families and hired summer staff members.
“I have given many a camp presentation in this neck of the woods, and I have welcomed many Mountain Brook families to the camp office on opening day,” Wallace said.
A longtime community event enthusiast, Wallace is thrilled to combine her administrative and interpersonal skills with her love for all things local. As project manager, Wallace will partner with Executive Director Suzan Doidge to present community events like the Annual Holiday Parade and Village To Village 10K as well as networking and educational events to promote business development. Additionally, she will assist in marketing efforts on behalf of the city of Mountain Brook and chamber members.
“On any given work day, you may find Suzan and I in a Village Merchant Meeting in the morning, followed by a midday sponsorship pitch for an upcoming event, and then closing our day out with a ribbon cutting or networking opportunity,” said Wallace. “Don’t blink an eye if you’re trying to catch us. If you do catch up with me, however, please bring along a cafe au lait from Continental Bakery, a flower arrangement from Oak Street Garden Shop, or a piece of chocolate cake from Olexa’s.”
Wallace is married to Carter Wallace, a pediatric resident at UAB, and they are parents to Anna Wells, age 16 months.
“On any given non-work day, you may find me with my sweet family grabbing a cup of coffee, walking the Jemison trail, playing at the Tot Lot or Emmet O’ Neal, waving at the fire trucks, grabbing a casual dinner with family or friends, and going to bed extremely early,” Wallace said.
If you have any questions for Molly or want to say hello, please contact her at molly@welcometomountainbrook.com.
