The Board of Directors of the Penobscot Bay Regional Chamber of Commerce has appointed Gordon Page of Owls Head to the role of Interim President & CEO. This appointment follows the recent announcement from Chamber President & CEO Tom Peaco that he will be leaving that post effective June 30 to become the President & CEO of the University of Maine Alumni Association.

Page will assume his part-time responsibilities immediately to provide some overlap before Peaco’s departure, and will serve until a permanent replacement is selected and begins work. The Chamber board has formed a CEO Search Committee which is already actively at work, and expects to formally post the position publicly soon. More

Chamber Board Chair Sheila Lowe has appointed the following individuals to a CEO Search Committee to lead the search for Tom's successor: Co-Chairs of the CEO Search Committee are Chamber board members Diane Lebson of Evergreen Philanthropic Solutions, and Jake Miller of First National Bank. Other committee members include Chamber board members Jeff Hamilton of JA Hamilton Consulting, Sandy Cox of The New England Real Estate Company, and Jodie Heal of Heal Accounting, and former Chamber board member John Viehman of United Midcoast Charities.

The CEO Search Committee has already held its first meeting, and anticipates formally advertising the position soon.
