Lynnette Scott
Director / Chamber Board Liason
Lynnette has lived in Oregon since 1995, and never wants to leave!
In 1992, she fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming an Elementary School teacher and has taught kids from kindergarten through 6th grade. When her son entered Elementary school in 2005, she spent those six years teaching and volunteering as well as being a member and president of the PTO. She continued to teach as well as volunteer at her son's middle school until 2015.
In 2011 she had the opportunity to talk to a new and used LEGO store owner about franchising and after a year of convincing him, in 2012 Lynnette became the first franchisee of Bricks & Minifigs. Having no business experience, she jumped in with both feet and started a successful business on her own. She has recently just celebrated her 10-year anniversary for her store. Being a single woman owned business, building it from the ground up with no prior experience, surviving the economic crisis due to Covid and celebrating her 10-year anniversary, shows the dedication and hard work she has the spirit for.
Lynnette became a member of the Beaverton Area Chamber in 2019 and has been active in many of the social events as well as being a member of the Women in Business Committee.
Lynnette loves spending time with friends, family, and her kittens. She also enjoys traveling, photography, and long walks on the beach.

Alicia Bermes
Secretary
Alicia was born and raised in the northern suburbs of Chicago.
She has an MA in Psychology from Loyola University and after working in Market research for five years she chose to stay home, raise a family, and homeschool two fabulous children! She returned to the workforce in the membership department of Girl Scouts. After that she found the Chamber world and spent three years as the Executive Director of the Frankfort Chamber of Commerce and four years as the Executive Director of the Niles Chamber of Commerce. She has also served of the Board of the Illinois Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives.
Family migration has drawn her west and the Beaverton Area Chamber of Commerce CEO position was available at just the right time!
What she loves most about the Chamber world is the opportunity to help local businesspeople make connections and build relationships with one another. In today's world of online, social media, tweeting, and blogging, the strongest connections are still formed face to face with a handshake. Wow that sounds wrong to say in the days of Covid, but it is still true. We just have to find new ways to facilitate that handshake.
What is possible after that handshake is limitless!
