Realtor at Silver Legacy Realty

JuliZook@yahoo.com

I worked many years in the car industry being co owner of Dale's Used Cars in Kellogg. After it moved to Coeur d Alene I began my 10 year journey with Dave Smith Motors as the first female team manager and then becoming Customer Service Manager for over 90 Sales men and service department.

Looking for a new challenge, I began my career in Real Estate which I have been doing for the past 9 years affliated with Silver Legacy Realty. One of the joys and benefits is showing my clients our community and everything it has to offer. I believe in my community and have been involved in many civic organizations.

I have been the past President of the Historic Silver Valley Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis, Shoshone Medical Foundation Board, Women's Resource Center and have volunteered at many other charity events in the valley. In 2012 I was awarded "Citizen of the Year."

I have two sons and four beautiful grandchildren. I enjoy traveling, entertaining, cooking, sports, and most of all my family and friends.

Kelton Enich

1st Vice President

English Teacher at Kellogg High School

Kelton.Enich@kelloggschools.org

I moved to Kellogg about two and half years ago after growing up in Missoula, Montana. I attended the University of Montana for a degree in teaching and then moved to the Valley to work at Kellogg High School (KHS) as an English teacher and teach Creative Writing and Public Speaking as well. Since moving to Kellogg, I have helped organize numerous school and community events including KHS Homecoming, prom, Brawl for the Ball fundraisers, and multiple poetry readings. I love to bridge the gap between school and community and hope my involvement with the Chamber helps bring more students to community events. In my time serving on the Chamber board, I have become the race director and organizer for the Jackass Half Marathon, helped with multiple community events, and serve on the marketing committee. In my spare time, I like to go to the Farmers Market, ski at Silver Mountain, cook, run and hike with my dogs, and spend time with my family and friends.

My daughter Jainah and I have lived in the Silver Valley since 2014. Currently, I am working as Remediation Manager for the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality. I also serve on the boards of the Silver Valley Economic Development Corporation, the Shoshone Medical Center, and the Central Shoshone Water District. I am interested in increasing the efficacy of communication between Silver Valley businesses, organizations, and governing bodies and fostering new business growth and development.

I really appreciate what this area has to offer in terms of wilderness. I enjoy hunting, hiking, and camping as well as photography.

Scott Albrethson

Secretary

4-H WISE After School Director at Kellogg Middle School

Scott.Albrethsen@kelloggschools.org

I grew up in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and graduated from Coeur d'Alene High School before attending the University of Montana. I have been in Kellogg for 3 years and enjoy directing the KMS After School Program. Our program is a multi-faceted, grant funded program that provides middle school students with opportunities to access tutoring, learn hands-on, engage in their community, and participate with their families in sponsored community events.

In my free time, I prefer to spend time in the outdoors with my wife, Kelton and dog Etta. In the winter, I spend as many days as possible on my snowboard at Silver Mountain and Lookout Pass! I have loved getting involved with the Silver Valley Chamber to help promote the growth of local events that shine a light on what the Silver Valley has to offer.

I was born and raised in North Idaho and after graduating from High School I enlisted into the U.S. Army. I spent the next 30 years serving my country at home and abroad. When I retired, I couldn’t think of a better place to enjoy life than the Silver Valley. I am very active in the community serving on the Chamber board, Marketing Committee, Building and Maintenance, 4th of July Committee, and SilverHoops Committee. I am currently the Commander for the Shoshone VFW Post 1675 and Veteran Service Officer. I look forward to helping businesses and strengthen community relations in this great area.
