Goodbye and Hello, Changes to the Board of Directors

Kendra Astry our President has stepped down from the board of directors and is persuing new adventures in Oregon.  We are greatful to her for all the energy and help she gave to the Chamber over the years.  She was a vital part of the Chamber.  You could always find her at every chamber event with a smile and a helping hand.  She will be greatly missed, but we all wish her well!

John Morais of Cher Ae Heights Casino re-joined the board of directors in July and Courtney Kime of A&L Feed joined us in August.  We are looking forward to their help and great ideas to support and grow our community.
