Kerri Mandes, 2023 Honorary Mayor 

Kerri Mandes was proclaimed Carmichael Honorary Mayor for 2023. The fitness instructor raised more than $31,000 to benefit the Chamber and welfare non-profit WEAVE. The four-month mayoral drive was a fundraising blowout for Mandes and she has spent her 2023 year diving into local events, ribbon cuttings, fundraisers, and placing her stamp at the chamber serving on the 2023 board of directors. A mother, business owner, motivator, and dear friend to all. Her energy makes Carmichael community the biggest winner of all.
