Hi, I’m Tara Wright. I help organizations turn meaningful work into clear stories, thoughtful campaigns, and experiences that bring people together.
I’d love to help O’Fallon-Shiloh Chamber members feel even more seen, supported, and connected.
Marketing. Community. Momentum.
A QUICK HELLOA little more than a résumé can say.
This role brings together the work I care most about: helping small businesses grow, creating marketing that connects people, building meaningful community, and using smart systems to help good work go further.
If you have 90 seconds, I’d love to introduce myself.
Why this role feels like a fit
This is not a list of marketing tasks.
When I read the job description, I saw the work I love most: helping local businesses get seen, creating momentum around events, and turning meaningful work into connection.
The words + the visuals
Tell the Story
Turn member wins, local-business news, and big ideas into words, visuals, photos, and content people actually want to share.
Before, during + after
Build Momentum
Create the campaign rhythm around events, launches, and initiatives— before the moment happens, while it is happening, and long after.
The human part
Strengthen Community
Build communication, programs, and experiences that make people feel noticed, connected, and genuinely glad they joined.
The strategy underneath it all
Make It Work Smarter
Use clear systems, practical analytics, and AI tools to help a small team create more without ever losing the human touch.
The work behind the words
I have not always called it Chamber marketing.
But I have been doing versions of it for years.
Growing communities. Making complicated experiences feel clear. Helping people show up. Telling stories worth sharing.

Area DirectorA FEW THINGS I’VE HELPED BRING TO LIFE
Strategy is only useful if it turns into something people can see, understand, and act on.
AI with a human brain attached
AI is not the strategy.
It is the extra set of hands.
Used thoughtfully, AI can help a small team move faster, repurpose stronger, and keep momentum going—without losing the human voice, local relationships, or good judgment that make community marketing matter.

A practical example
One good member conversation can go a lot further.
Start with a real person, a real story, and a few thoughtful questions. Then use AI to help that good work travel farther.
The human source
One member conversation
A 15-minute interview, a few notes, and a handful of photos.
The story is still human. AI simply helps the good work travel further.
A sample of how I think
One event.
A month of member value.
The Chamber’s golf tournament is more than a date on the calendar. It is an opportunity to celebrate local businesses, make sponsors feel visible, and give members something worth talking about long after the final putt.

A simple visibility loop for turning one great Chamber event into connection, recognition, and real membership momentum.
Before the event
Build anticipation.
Spotlight sponsors. Share member stories. Give players, volunteers, and local businesses reasons to rally around the day.

Thank you for taking a look
I would love to help make good things impossible to miss.
The O’Fallon-Shiloh Chamber has an incredible opportunity to make local businesses feel not only supported, but genuinely celebrated.
I would be excited to help carry that work forward—with strong stories, smart systems, thoughtful marketing, and a whole lot of heart.
