Concord Chamber of Commerce gearing up for next chapter

It is an honor to serve as board chair of the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce this year.

It is an exciting time because the chamber is stronger than ever as we begin the search for the next president and CEO.

Marilyn Fowler did an incredible job in her 24 years as president and CEO, and the board is focused on preserving her legacy. We constantly hear from chamber members that our chamber is friendly, welcoming and an important part of the greater community. We know that the next CEO must embody that spirit.

At the same time, new leadership presents a great opportunity for us to bring in different ideas and try innovative things to better serve our members.

As we move forward, I am grateful we have such a strong chamber staff. Melissa Rea, William Chan and new staff member Amanda Campbell are doing an excellent job of keeping the chamber running. The board members are ready to support staff however they need us.
