Married with 2 children, attend Calvary Baptist Church in Reidsville, we love going to the beach, being on the water, hunting, and going to Wake Forest football and basketball games.

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Eden-Combs-Headshot-min

Eden Combs
Realty One Group

Love spending time with my family, the lake, fishing at the coast, singing at church, hiking, cooking, reading, making others laugh and giving back to the community.

Believe in YOU! (If you don't, who will?)

Serving allows me to mingle with fellow citizens I would not otherwise have the opportunity to meet and be the butterfly God created me to be. When I have served in the community previously it gave me a sense of purpose and a warmth in my heart through the relationships built and people that I met. I truly believe the saying "The greatest gift you can give someone is your time because when you give your time, you are giving a portion of your life that you will never get back." It's intentional. My goal is that I can open mindedly integrate into a diverse group of individuals and opinions to bring fresh ideas, life, love, and variety. I pray to be a light in the community as I serve and represent the Chamber to help make our community THE BEST!

Jennifer-Lester-Headshot-min

Jennifer Lester
Rockingham Community College

I love to read and spend time with my family/friends. Thanksgiving and Christmas may be my favorite holidays. Christmas decorations and cheesy Christmas movies are my absolute favorite. I am married with one son and a crazy dog, and they are all my world. My faith and my family/friends are incredibly important pieces of who I am. I love learning, especially about history and archaeology.

Colossians 3:23-24: Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

I enjoy the opportunity to not only give back and to better to my community through service, but also help grow and encourage the community. I'm looking forward to being part of an organization that supports and encourages our community as a whole, but also champions workforce development, and partners with various agencies, businesses, and industries across many different fields for the benefit of Reidsville and Rockingham County.

Mom to Paisley (4) and Rylee (3). Wife to Bryan (7 years). I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. You can find us outside and together most of the time. The happiest place to be is with my family.

Do what you love, and love what you do!

There are many ways that we can serve our community. It brings the community closer together and allows us to support one another. There is no greater feeling than watching the support grow.

I have been in this role for more than ten years. I love my community, and being a part of something on a larger scale that impacts our quality of life, and the day to day of the business community. I know that when I lay my head down at night, I have done my best, given my all and celebrated our wins. We are #TeamReidsville and we will prevail!

I love the chamber of commerce and believe strongly in its mission. Serving my community gives me a sense of purpose, a feeling of giving back and a way to build relationships. The Chamber of Commerce gives me a chance to network with businesses and organizations, and provides an opportunity to connect with others.
