WELCOME OUR NEW CHAMBER PRESIDENT CEO |
|
The Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce has named Anne Moore-Sparks as president and CEO. She succeeds Alexis Ehrhardt who resigned in September.
“Anne is well known in the community and will bring her connections and strong interpersonal skills to the Chamber,” said John Settle, chair of the search committee.
“She understands the Chamber’s mission and place in the community and will continue to make the organization strong and relevant,” said Michael B. Jones, chairman of the board.
A Danville native, Moore-Sparks has served the Danville Public Schools where she was community engagement and business partnership specialist, teacher quality specialist, and director of the Danville Public Schools Education Foundation. She also has worked for Gateway Health, City of Danville, and the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research. She will start her new position on April 4.
Anne is a graduate of Averett University, Leadership Southside and the Sorenson Institute for Political Leadership. “My history with the region and its businesses makes me proud to lead the region’s premier business organization,” said Moore-Sparks. “I see the Chamber as an integral part of the region’s economic development infrastructure and our programs and services will help businesses prosper here.”
The Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber was formed by the merger of the Danville and Pittsylvania chambers in 2001. It serves to accelerate business growth by connecting its 500+ members to resources and networks. Its program of work provides access to business, government, and leadership for its members.

Consider your credit score a passport for your financial life—it helps you make financial moves such as buying a car or a home, or paying for college with student loans.
With a good score, these big financial moves will come easier and cost you less because you’ll be able to qualify for better loans with lower interest rates. A solid score can give you financial confidence—the peace of mind of knowing that you are in good financial standing.
This session will provide you tips on how to make your credit score work for you! The program is focused on, but not exclusive to, our Young Professionals group.
