One-of-a-kind chamber helps promote fitness, health
The idea to start the Las Vegas Health and Fitness Chamber of Commerce was not drawn from the experience of another organization — it’s the only one of its kind.
Three years ago, Raymond Wilson founded the nonprofit because of health issues in his family that made him want to help others, too. us.
Wilson brought in Lany Orlanda as the organization’s executive director two years ago. Orlanda says she has always been health-conscious, and this job gives her an opportunity to share her expertise with the Las Vegas Valley community.
Since joining the chamber, Orlanda has helped boost membership to about 170 individuals and businesses combined.. Members include zations such as the Arthritis Foundation, Baby’s Bounty, Club Pilates Las Vegas, Downtown Runners and Humana Market Point.
We caught up with Orlanda to talk about the chamber.
