With every new year comes the transition from one Chairperson to the next. We are honored to be thanking 2021 Chairperson Wendell Verret for his service to the Chamber, Iberia Parish, and our business community.

Verret led the Chamber through another unpredictable year, navigating the appointment of a new CEO, a new venue for the Chamber's Annual Banquet, the ever-changing landscape of the Coronavirus pandemic, all while keeping the Chamber's mission and our members' resiliency at the forefront of his efforts. Verret will continue to serve on the Chamber's Board of Directors as a Past Chairperson.

From our over 350 members and community partners, thank you Wendell Verret!
