February's Member Voice: Dana Yawn
For February’s Member Voices feature, we’re spotlighting Dana Yawn of Party Popping Events, LLC, a business owner who made joining the Chamber part of her plan from day one. From the very beginning, Dana recognized the value of being connected to Sarasota’s business community. By leveraging Chamber resources, attending events, and building meaningful relationships, she set a strong foundation for her business to grow, thrive, and make a lasting impact in the community.
Dana’s story is a great example of how intentional involvement can accelerate both personal and professional growth. Her experience shows that success doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens when you actively engage, share ideas, and tap into the network and support that organizations like the Chamber provide. Through her dedication and strategic approach, Dana has not only expanded her own business but has also contributed to the vibrancy and success of Sarasota’s broader business community.
