Missy Anderson

Administrative Assistant

Missy joined the Chamber in January 2023 as the Administrative Assistant after working in the hospitality industry for seven years. Her attention to detail and love of numbers makes this the perfect position for her. Missy grew up in Otter Tail County, so moving here fourteen years ago from the Twin Cities area with her husband, Sean, was like coming home. Missy is a homebody at heart. She loves to be home, cooking for her family, and attending her son's sporting events. She is an avid Minnesota Vikings fan and can get lost in a good book for hours.
