honoring DELEESA MEASHINTUBBY
The Eugene Chamber of Commerce is proud to honor DeLeesa Meashintubby's passionate commitment to our community
and her career achievements with the 2022 First Citizen Award.
People often ask when DeLeesa Meashintubby finds the time to sleep. As the executive director at Volunteers In Medicine of Lane County, she plays a vital role in providing medical services for people who fall through the cracks. In addition, she also serves as pastor of St. Mark’s SME Church. Two full-time jobs filled by one amazing woman.
Her tireless energy for our community earned her the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce’s 2022 prestigious
First Citizen Award. She will be honored at this year’s event.
