ARBULU JOINS GCCC STAFF

The Gem County Chamber of Commerce is delighted to introduce Stephanie Arbulu who was recently added to the GCCC team as Office Manager.

“We’re like the Three Musketeers,” said Wisti Rosenthal, Gem County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director. “Steph worked for me before so I knew she would make a perfect addition to the Chamber. The three of us (GCCC staff) make a great team and all have the same heart to serve our GCCC members and the Gem County community.”

Stephanie is the daughter of Alberto and Belen Arbulu, first generation immigrants from the Basque country of Spain. Originally working for a sheep camp, Alberto worked for many years at the Boise Cascade Mill in Emmett before retiring. Belen works at the Blue Ribbon Bakery.

“My parents are so great,” said Steph. “Dad is famous for his wonderful garden and everyone just loves my mom at the Blue Ribbon.”

Stephanie has one sister, Juanita Paul, hairdresser to the stars at the Cutting Edge in Emmett.

Born and raised in Emmett, Stephanie became a licensed Esthetician after graduating from Emmett High School. Stephanie worked as an Esthetician in Emmett before moving away for a while. Today, she continues to serve her clients at Annie’s Nail Boutique, 207 W. Main St., in the evenings and by appointment providing facials, waxing and skincare.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed reconnecting with the community,” said Arbulu. “I moved away for a time but love being back with family and friends. I enjoy spending time with my family and extensive ‘family’ of friends more than anything.”

“I am so amazed at the amount of calls and visitors we receive at the Chamber,” Arbulu continued. “We get calls from locals needing information, businesses, tourists and people wanting relocation information. There is also a wonderful variety and flow of visitors, Chamber members and locals in and out of the office everyday. It is never dull and always a joy to help get answers or promote the community.”

The GCCC is proud to have Arbulu on staff. Drop in to the GCCC office, Monday - Friday 8am - 5pm (closed for lunch) and welcome Stephanie back to Emmett and to the GCCC.
