Meet Our Team

Dana Neuts

CEO & Chief Ambassador

Since February 2021, Dana Neuts has been the driving force behind the Covington Chamber of Commerce, bringing energy, creativity, and a deep commitment to community. With two decades of experience as a writer, communications and marketing professional—and a background in nonprofit leadership and local government—Dana brings a unique mix of skills that help businesses grow and thrive.

A natural connector and entrepreneur, Dana is passionate about building relationships, supporting local organizations, and creating opportunities for members to succeed. She holds degrees in business and leadership, but what truly sets her apart is her love for helping others shine.
​
When she’s not championing the Chamber, Dana runs two small businesses --Virtually Yourz and Washington Nonprofit Network, explores the outdoors, and enjoys reading, writing, hiking, and birdwatching. She lives in Kent with her pets, and she is a proud mom to three grown children and their families.

Keylona Temeyosa

Administrative & Events Coordinator

Keylona Temeyosa joined the Covington Chamber team in May 2023, though her connection to us began a year earlier at our first Covington Makers Market. Keylona's enthusiasm and community spirit made her a natural fit. By January 2025, she officially stepped into a staff role—helping us expand our reach and better serve our members.

Keylona does a little bit of everything: supporting daily ops, planning and running events, sparking new ideas, and making sure our members feel welcome and supported. Her positivity and energy brighten every project, and she has become an essential part of our Chamber family.

Beyond her Chamber work, Keylona is a small business owner and the creative mind behind New Craft Different Day, which offers handsewn textiles, children’s toys, accessories, and unique gifts. She’s also a proud wife and mom to her son Dominic, our first-ever Junior Ambassador, as well as a devoted daughter and friend.
