Chris Chambliss has 17 years of architecture experience including 7 years with Milwaukee-based Deep River Partners Ltd., which specializes in residential design.

โ€œOften, the most accomplished professionals quietly stack up many accolades because itโ€™s the contribution they seek rather than recognition. Chris Chambliss is exemplary of this,โ€ said Richard Sherer, chief executive officer and founder of Deep River Partners.

Chambliss is a member of the Wisconsin LGBT Chamber of Commerce.

โ€œHer dedication to the chamber and its mission is what inspired Deep River Partners to become a member in 2015,โ€ Sherer said.

For two consecutive years, Chambliss has served as an event โ€œchallengerโ€ for โ€œChallenge Party,โ€ a fundraiser that supports the LGBT Community. In her tenure, she has coordinated Deep River-designed โ€œhostโ€ homes for the event.

โ€œChris takes pride in finding a positive influence that motivates success,โ€ Sherer said. โ€œFor three years, she has been the program organizer of the chamberโ€™s โ€˜Master Mindโ€™ peer mentoring group. She determines the topic and guides the discussion on career, workplace, and LGBT issues. The programโ€™s success led to its expansion in Milwaukee and Madison. Chris also works with the chamberโ€™s mentoring program, which began in 2019 primarily for college students. Chrisโ€™ expertise made her a great fit for a student considering a STEM career path, which was mutually beneficial as they remain in communication.โ€
