Membership Director Position Available
|
|
As many of you know, Frank Hosticka has moved out of the area. Frank has worked for the chamber as Membership Director since 2012. We have been very fortunate to have Frank working tirelessly to engage new members and motivating involvement for the existing ones. We are grateful for his continued help virtually. However, with the transition of Molly taking on the President's role, we will be hiring a full-time Membership Director.
We are currently accepting applications through the end of the month and hope to have the new person hired in early November.
If you know someone who would be a great fit for the role, please help us spread the word!
