As a constant figure behind the scenes, Craig manages the organization’s online presence—everything from keeping our website up-to-date to ensuring that all of our events are promoted on social media. He also volunteers his online marketing experience and time to helping the Chamber’s Save Local Now program, having recently hosted an informative seminar about the Chamber’s free member benefit, helping attendees better understand the value of using a digital marketing platform.

Craig has also been a tremendous help with the Young Entrepreneurs Academy, currently serving on the YEA! Steering Committee and mentor to two student businesses in this year’s program. The HEB Chamber wants to recognize Craig Backus for all of his generous efforts for the Chamber. Congratulations, Craig, on being our November Member of the Month!
