Laura and Kevin<br />
Fairchild<br />
Storage West<br />
Laura and Kevin Fairchild have been married for 39 years. They have two daughters and four<br />
grandchildren. They are a dedicated professional team with exceptional leadership, team<br />
building, sales and interpersonal skills.<br />
For the past 13 years, they have worked for Storage West as Facility Managers, Trainers, and<br />
now Community Relations Team. They believe that building a stronger business is about<br />
creating a better experience. It’s more than just delivering quality service; it’s connecting with<br />
your customers and the community. At Storage West, they learned that the real value is taking<br />
care of people and great businesses are built around those people and the customers they<br />
serve. They are involved with several Chambers and carry this belief with them in their work<br />
within the Chambers. Their energy is remarkable and their enthusiasm contagious. If you<br />
don’t know Laura and Kevin Fairchild of Storage West, you should. Look around the corner,<br />
they are practically everywhere.<br />
As the A-Team Ambassador Directors of the Women’s Chamber of Commerce of Nevada, they<br />
volunteer their time to the Chamber and work closely with the President, CEO and Founder,<br />
June Beland. They are also The Masters of Ceremonies for the Power Breakfast Series events<br />
that are held bi-monthly.<br />
(Firmly believe in the Emancipation of Women, Women’s Right to Vote and Getting Women out<br />
of the kitchen and back where they belong) LOL! Just checking to see if you read it. Any<br />
changes let us know!<br />
