Chamber Assistant Director Needed - We will miss Syliva!!

Good morning Captains of Commerce -

As many of you know the word has “gotten around” and those at the luncheon last week learned that with great hesitancy we accepted Assistant Director Sylvia Ackley’s retirement resignation.  Her time doing ministry work has been increasing steadily and she feels the need to devote more of herself to that honorable pursuit. Sylvia will be staying with us through December to assist in our holiday events and taking care of any loose ends.  We wish Sylvia continued happiness in her her ministry. Please wish her well when you see her.

In the meantime please keep in mind we will need to be searching for a capable Chamber Assistant Director. I’d like to have someone hired so they might spend a few days with Sylvia before her departure.
