Get to know one of the Chamber’s newest board members Derrick Yu.
-Where do you work and what is your job title?
I work at Toppenish Community Hospital as the hospital’s administrator
-How long have you worked in Toppenish?
About one year
-Where did you move here from?
New Mexico
-What are some of your hobbies and things you enjoy?
I read a lot. I also enjoy cooking and creating new recipes.
-Why did you decide to join the Toppenish Chamber?
I am very interested in the economic development of Toppenish and the growth of small businesses. As a Chamber board member, I would like to see local business leaders come together to plan and encourage growth.
-What do you like most about Toppenish?
The people of course! The valley is beautiful. The weather is great. But the people are kind, generous and most considerate.
-What would you like to see the Chamber accomplish in this new year?
I would like to see more local business join the Chamber. I am surprised that several large local businesses are not yet Chamber members. To me this is discouraging because the Chamber does a great job in promoting the community and local businesses to all who visit or live here.
