Sevierville (TN) – Ellen Crivellone claimed the September Sevierville Chamber of Commerce Friendship Award after racking up the most points for attending chamber networking events and encouraging new membership. Crivellone and her husband Ron own and operate Smoky Mountain Sounds.

“The chamber has always been there ready to help with resources when needed,” says Crivellone. “They are all genuine people eager to promote the community any way possible. You can’t go wrong as a member of the Sevierville Chamber of Commerce.”

As a thank you for her dedication, Crivellone received a $100 gift card courtesy of Tanger Outlets Sevierville as well as a plaque courtesy of Sign Master.

“Ellen has been an active chamber member for several years. She and her husband Ron own and operate Smokey Mountain Sounds,” says membership director David Stanfill. “They have also been instrumental in leading the Smoky Mountain Wedding Association to an increased presence in promoting Sevier County tourism. Ellen is great to work with and we at the chamber appreciate her efforts. She is very deserving of the Friendship Award.”

Sevierville Chamber of Commerce Friendship Awards are based on points accumulated monthly from attending Chamber functions and volunteering as well as bringing inactive members and potential new members to Chamber events. Monthly points will go towards determining the Chamber Friend of the Year Award recipient.

The Chamber Friendship Award is presented during Coffee Talk on the third Tuesday of each month. Coffee Talk begins at 8am at the Sevierville Civic Center.
