A 91原创 City woman who was a staunch advocate for business in 91原创 is being recognized for all her contributions to the community through her years.

A $1,000 scholarship has been set up as a memorial tribute to Lynn Whitehouse, the face of the local chamber of commerce for more than three decades.

Lynn Whitehouse, 鈥�91原创 Lynn鈥� was a lifelong, tireless advocate for business in 91原创 and the Greater 91原创 Chamber of Commerce, said chamber director Angie Quaale.

鈥淲e are extremely delighted to announce that the GLCC has established a $1,000 scholarship with the 91原创 School District Foundation in Lynn Whitehouse鈥檚 memory, to recognize her long-standing contribution to the business community,鈥� said Quaale, who was president when Whitehouse was still with the chamber.

Whitehouse was executive director of the chamber for 31 years, retiring in 2016 and passing in December, after a lengthy battle with cancer.

This, Quaale said, is a way of continuing to support her passion posthumously.
