Monique Smith

Lead Ambassador

I was born and raised in Oneida and chose to raise my family here after a few years living in Rochester and Poughkeepsie. My parents and sisters are settled here and my children are also choosing to put down roots here. I am very active in our community, serving on several committees and in organizations like our Chamber of Commerce, the Oneida Area Civic Chorale and the Spirit of Hope Catholic Community to name a few. I believe in this town and want to share our treasures with everyone, come and visit, we would love to show you around!
