Welcome our new Executive Director

Note from the Executive Director:

Hi, everyone. In case you missed the announcement, I’m the Executive Director for the Chamber starting this week. It’s a one-year appointment covering for CEO Quynlan Young’s maternity leave.

I report to the Chamber’s board of directors but I work for you, Chamber members. My job this year will be to address some of the key elements identified in the Chamber’s 2024 Strategic Plan, specifically around communications and advocacy, with a focus on community safety.

That being said, my main focus will be the value the Chamber team can deliver to you and your business. What can we do to help your business deal with a problem or get over an obstacle blocking your success?

A chamber of commerce is literally a place to come talk about business and get business done In that spirit, our door is open.

But you don’t have to come to us. Drop me a line (email, cell) and we'll come to you to meet you on your turf to get a better understanding of where you and your business are at and how we can partner with you.

Let’s work together to make your business successful. When that happens, we all win.
