Introducing and thanking our Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors are committed to creating a prosperous regional economy where all can thrive. These volunteers give their time, insight and talents to advance the Chamber’s mission, guiding and informing the work we do and the impact this organization makes within the areas of Business & Economic Growth, Talent Attraction & Development and Placemaking & Place Management.
Their leadership is reflected in our vibrant downtowns, our region’s business and economic growth and the new talent and families who are moving to the QC because they are confident that here, they will thrive.
We welcome our new officers and five new board members (names bolded below) and thank our four retiring members for all they have and continue to do to strengthen our region. To all past and present members of the board, your commitment is commendable and deeply appreciated.
