Christina Ramsdell
2025 Nominee
Best in MISSION-BASED ORGANIZATIONS
Director of Workforce Initiatives
Strengthen LA - LA Metro Chamber
Professional Impact
Christina has become an integral force in strengthening the Lewiston–Auburn business community through her leadership, professionalism, and dedication. After beginning her career in banking, she transitioned in 2022 to serve as a Small Business Advisor with the Maine State Small Business Development Center, where she developed strong ties with local entrepreneurs and the Chamber of Commerce. In 2024, she officially joined the Chamber as the Network Coordinator for the Strengthen LA workforce program and now serves as Director of Workforce Initiatives. In this role, Christina is known for her ability to connect people, foster collaboration, and help others realize their goals. Her project management expertise, enthusiasm, and commitment to empowering businesses and professionals have made her a cornerstone of Strengthen LA’s continued success.
Personal Passions
Christina finds her greatest fulfillment not in her own achievements but in helping others succeed. She takes pride in watching the entrepreneurs she’s supported turn their dreams into thriving realities, considering each success story a shared victory. Outside of work, Christina enjoys cultivating her garden, spending time with her nieces, and creating memorable “best auntie” moments. She also values catching up with friends over good food and conversation, always finding joy in meaningful connections and simple pleasures.
Love for Androscoggin
Deeply connected to the community she serves, Christina sees Androscoggin County as a place full of opportunity, collaboration, and heart. She encourages newcomers to explore the region’s unique mix of local flavor and culture—starting with a visit to Burnt Ends BBQ, an outing to Lost Valley, and a trip to the Great Falls Balloon Festival or Taste of Harvest celebration. For Christina, Androscoggin represents the best of Maine living: a community where people care deeply, support one another, and work together to help everyone thrive.
