Namifiers’ Vice President of Marketing, Brad Gasaway, was sworn in yesterday to the Board of Directors of the Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce. An installation banquet was held at Utah Valley University in honor of both the exiting and newly elected board members.
The Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce is fresh off a
countywide 
alliance to represent more of the collective business voice in the area. What was formerly the Provo-Orem Chamber of Commerce officially rebranded itself in the Fall of 2009.
Gasaway will be joining forty other elected board members or honorary advisors from all over Utah County. The accepted term for all new leaders is three years, during which he will have designated responsibilities within two sub-committees of the board, the Small Business Council and the Utah Valley Advisory Council.
“I am happy to be considered for this role,” commented Gasaway. “Our valley has a lot to offer, and I see this as chance to share perspective and promote healthy business connections.”
In addition to board recognition, Gasaway was presented with the Chamber Champions Award at the event. This was presented to Namifiers for its sustained contribution to furthering the business community with steady growth, job opportunities, and solid business practices.

A tradition at Namifiers Christmas Parties is to pause the festivities and duly honor an individual as Employee of the Year. This past month, Tony DiFiore joined the ranks of those bearing that special title in our company history.
Since starting with Namifiers, Tony has worked hard to understand the diverse processes associated with his area, Wide-Format Printing. He has come to champion our ideals for speed and quality, to the point where his line holds the company record for most consecutive orders without a Corrected Order: 569.
Prior to working here at Namifiers, Tony performed pre-market maintenance service on Ivory Homes for two years. He was involved in different sales positions before that, including a period where he sold the acclaimed Kirby Vacuums. Whatever his memories were from those selling days, that time was most important for meeting his future wife, Christin. At the time, Christin’s job was to go around setting up sales demonstrations for the other sales staff. Today, they are the proud parents a brand new baby boy.
Riding the coat tails of his immediate goals are the lifelong dreams of buying a home, owning a beefy truck, and traveling to Italy someday.
Congratulations Tony! Keep it up!
