March news & updates!
Good afternoon,

I’m writing to all of you with bittersweet news. I have accepted another career opportunity and my last day with the Chamber is Friday, March 11th.

I am excited to begin this next career path, and I will look back at my time with this organization with gratitude and fondness. It’s been an extreme pleasure getting to know our members through our committees, mixers and luncheons, major events, or even saying hello when stopping into a business! The Monroe County community is one of a kind and I am so proud to say that I am a part of it, alongside you all. The last year has been an invaluable experience for my career – so thank you to my team, the Pocono Chamber board, and YOU!

I’m always a phone call or email away, please feel free to reach out if you’d like my new contact info.

Sincerely,
Kiya Jenkins
Coordinator, Pocono Chamber of Commerce
