Meet the Team
Carrie Monley
Finance & Community Basket Manager
A Mason resident since 2001, Carrie Monley is eager to share her knowledge of the Mason Deerfield community with the area’s newest residents. Her goal as the Community Basket Representative is to connect the new residents with the city, schools and local business members wishing to welcome them to their new home. Since joining the MADE Chamber in 2017, Carrie has not only enjoyed meeting thousands of new residents but supporting the chamber team with their growth and membership goals, most recently with finance support.
As a mom to two Mason Comets, Carrie was an active volunteer in the Mason City Schools and developed lasting relationships with other parents, teachers and students. She also spent several years supporting local football, cheer, baseball, softball, wrestling and dance teams as a coach, volunteer, player’s mom and coach’s wife.
Prior to choosing to be a stay-at-home mom, Carrie worked as a marketing manager and advertising manager in the Cincinnati area. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Journalism – Public Relations from Bowling Green State University and is a lifelong resident of Ohio. She enjoys living in Mason with her husband, Bob, and quickly became a Bearcat fan when both their son and daughter decided to attend the University of Cincinnati.
