Sally Daling, President
Sally and her husband Scott moved full-time to Hersey in 2022. Spending as much time as possible at the river house over the years, they decided to make the move permanent when Scott was offered a teaching job at Reed City HS and joined the RC Cujo Football Staff. The Reed City community has been so welcoming and the local events have allowed them to get to know many great people.
Sally has owned multiple businesses over the past 20 years and has been active on the Allendale Chamber of Commerce and other committees over the years. After becoming a Reed City Chamber member in 2022 and attending a lunch and learn, the opportunity to serve on the Board was presented. Currently a Broker and Realtor with The Local Element Mid-Michigan, Sally is working with clients from Grand Rapids to the north, while building relationships in the area.
Thankful for the opportunity to be a part of the Chamber Board and continuing the work already started, let’s continue the focus on growing opportunities and supporting local businesses here in Reed City.

Alanna is a Reed City local, yet an East Tennessee native. Having lived “up north” for three years now, she absolutely enjoys the tight-knit community of Reed City, where everyone knows each other’s names. (The love for snow is still yet to come!)

Tricia Wirth, Public Relations Liasion
A transplant turned into a local girl. Like many in our town, Tricia's life journey didn't start in Reed City. Originally from a small town known as Standish, Michigan where she was surrounded by a large family of dairy farmers. She left what was comfortable to attend Ferris State University. During her time at Ferris, she developed a passion for people and service. Her desire to help people and provide stellar customer service led Tricia to become a Real Estate Agent in 2000 and later earning her Broker's license in 2005. Tricia was making waves in Real Estate from the beginning. From Rookie of the Year to Top Sales Achievement awards and even an Ambassador Award, Tricia has proven her abilities as an agent. She strives to provide her clients with the best service by continuing advanced Real Estate education and applying unique sales techniques. Real Estate has also given Tricia the ability to put her customer service background to use giving back to the community. Tricia has volunteered and continues to participate on several boards and committees in Osceola County. She has previously served on the Reed City School Board, Reed City Little League, Senior Regent at the Reed City Mooseheart, and the Osceola County Ambassador Committee of the West Central Board of Realtors to name just a few. She enjoys giving back to the community that has given so much to her. Over 20 years ago she chose Reed City to put down her roots, which is why she enjoys serving on the Reed City Chamber of Commerce Board. When Tricia is away from the office she can be found traveling, boating, watching baseball, and spending time with her husband, Brian, and two children.
