The Rogers Lowell Chamber is pleased to welcome three new staff members to our team.

Welcome Dane: Dane Clark has joined our Destination Rogers team as Sales & Services Coordinator. His role will be vital in helping to sell and market our region as a great place to visit, live, work and play.

Jack of all trades: Before the Chamber, Dane was working as a microbiologist.  However, Dane has a huge interest about everything in the world, so lab work is not the only thing he has done.  Dane has been a locksmith, bartender/waiter, phlebotomist, photo technician, movie theater manager, nanny, Walmart door greeter, and ran a small art business.

Self-proclaimed doctor: Dane has been a medic in the Air National Guard for nine years specializing in immunizations and trauma.  He has gotten to work in just about every ward of a hospital in 12 different facilities.  He has experience with procedures such as IVs, intubation, catheters, chest tubes, sutures and more.  He has plenty of horror stories from the ER to share!

Zookeeper: Dane is deeply fascinated by animals and has a degree in biology.  He and his wife currently have two dogs, two cats, a ball python, a bearded dragon, fish, and snails. In the past they have had hamsters, rats, mice, gerbils, scorpions, and various insect colonies.  Dane dreams of one day owning a hedgehog and a racoon.    

Greetings Maggie: Maggie Matuschka has joined our team as our Special Events Coordinator. She will be responsible for organizing and running all of our special events and serving as the point-of-contact for our ambassador committee.

Chamber pro: Maggie joins us with a wealth of Chamber-industry experience, having worked at the Natchitoches Area Chamber of Commerce in Louisiana for seven years. During her time there, her duties included executing six signature events and four community initiatives annually, as well as managing the Chamber’s army of volunteers.

Joie de Vivre: Maggie’s joie de vivre comes from the time she spends cooking, laughing, and adventuring with her husband Tom, their daughter Arabella, and their pomsky Remus. She is an avid reader, and loves meeting new people and learning new things.

Bienvenidas Mariana: Mariana Osorio has joined our Community Development Division as our  Community Engagement & Inclusion Manager. She will work with local students as part of our LEAD Rogers program and will cultivate relationships with Hispanic members of our local business community to help them grow their business while expanding our diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives to better welcome the growing number of residents, workers, and visitors from all backgrounds.

Before the Chamber: Before moving back to Northwest Arkansas, Mariana spent time in Colombia working alongside her mother on their family business while she was finishing her degree in Multimedia Arts from BCC, CA.

Outside of work: Mariana loves spending time outdoors mountain biking, hiking and kayaking. She also enjoys volunteering for animal welfare organizations, knitting, reading and spending time with friends and family.
