A Transition Year

We also want to acknowledge some changes. After many years of dedicated service, Bonnie Dupre retired in January as Chamber Coordinator. Her passion and commitment left a positive and lasting impact on our organization and community, and we are incredibly grateful for her years with us.

In June, Kathy Meyer stepped into the role of Chamber Coordinator, and she has been doing an outstanding job leading us through this new chapter. We recognize that transitions can be challenging, and we appreciate your continued support and patience as we move forward.

Looking Ahead to 2025

We are thrilled about what’s ahead and can’t wait to share some exciting plans with you soon. Keep an eye out for updates!
