Teresa Jorgensen

President
Fisher's

BIO

Teresa joined Fisher’s in 2007 as a territory sales representative and quickly became focused on major accounts. Currently, managing major and national accounts, her focus is on ensuring outstanding customer experiences whether the customer is located in Boise, Idaho, Portsmouth, New Hampshire or International Falls, Minnesota. Prior to Fisher’s, Teresa was employed by Micron Technology for 17 years. While at Micron, she held a variety of roles of responsibility that included manufacturing engineer, Customer Service Manager, National Distribution Manager, and account management that included Dell, IBM, and Intel.

Teresa also serves as an elected official as a Garden City Councilmember.

Teresa is an Idaho native who enjoys the outdoor opportunities that this great state offers. Further, water activities are some of her favorite past times. If not in a swimming pool, her travels are focused on getting her where the water is warm and the beaches are extensive.

Chris Theil

Director
First Interstate Bank

BIO

Chris was born in Ohio, grew up in North Carolina and eventually attended college at Furman University, in South Carolina. His nomadic nature intensified after college, living in Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Maryland before heading out west to Utah. Chris moved to Idaho in 2014 for work purposes and has thoroughly enjoyed his time in the Treasure Valley for the last 10 years.

When he is not helping small business owners grow their enterprises and realize their financial goals, he is passionate about teaching and advising the youth on smart credit building, the power of compound interest and preparing for a healthy financial future through volunteer activities.
When away from the office Chris enjoys time with his family, swinging golf clubs (too often per round) and traveling.

Janie Bowman

Treasurer
Horizon Credit Union

BIO

In early 2019, Janie relocated to the Treasure Valley eager to discover her professional passion and become rooted in the community. Like many, her career path led her to banking, where she began as a Teller with ICON Credit Union and have since grown into a Consumer and Business Lender with Horizon Credit Union. Over the past five years at Horizon, she has developed strong, lasting relationships throughout the community that closely align with her core values of service, collaboration, and local support.

She is known for stepping up where needed, championing small local businesses, connecting people, and bringing energy and enjoyment to everything she does. After serving as a Garden City Chamber of Commerce Ambassador for three years, she is excited to take the next step in supporting Garden City by joining the Chamber’s Board of Directors. She is looking forward to contributing a creative, forward-thinking perspective that helps continue the Chamber’s mission of strengthening and celebrating our community.

Outside of work, Janie enjoys spending time outdoors with friends and family, often accompanied by her dog, Remi. Whether skiing at Bogus Basin, camping and hiking in the foothills, paddle boarding, biking along the Greenbelt, or hosting a backyard barbecue, she values an active lifestyle and the strong sense of connection that comes with it.
