Denise Martindale was deeply touched to be voted the Middle Township Business Person of the year.

Her contributions to the chamber and our community, made her a most deserving recipient of what has become very prestigious recognition. Her acceptance speech topped off an elegant evening at this year’s Annual Business of the Year and Dinner.

Martindale was recognized for her contributions to the community through her longtime affiliation with the Chamber. Her steadfast dedication was a major factor in the successful execution of many Chamber events.

Denise's accomplishments in the Chamber have included but are not limited to:

• Served 5 years as Vice President of Chamber
• Coordinated Christmas in Court House 5 years & the 1^st Christmas in Rio Grande
• Coordinated the Rio Grande Membership Recruitment
• Oversaw all chamber programs

Anyone that knows Denise knows that she is a no-nonsense person that gets the job done, no matter what it takes to do it.  We all know that she sometimes works to the point of “Burnout”. She was very instrumental in recruiting Rio Grande business and involving them in Christmas in Rio Grande .  Bob Noel will taut her as his “Right Hand” and the chamber is stronger because of her commitment.  Denise is another person that never accepts glory.  She does for others, not herself.  Besides her role in the chamber, she runs a successful auto repair business with her husband and has just opened a used car lot.  She has been involved in several other successful ice cream business ventures in the past and manages several investment properties that they own.  Denise spends any free time (not much) with family and riding Harley motorcycles with her husband and attending Bike Week in Daytona each year.
