A Message from the Executive Director
|
It has been a privilege to serve as the Executive Director since June 1,1999. I recently have tendered by resignation to the Board of Directors effective July 31, 2024. During my tenure, I have gained valuable experience and have had the opportunity to contribute to the growth and success of the DBR Chamber of Commerce and our communities. I am extremely grateful for the support provided to me during my time as Executive Director. I am proud of the many accomplishments and services I have been able to provide to the Chamber and our members.
Â
However, I have decided that it is time for me to move on to new challenges and opportunities.
Â
Thank you for the opportunity to serve my communities for the past 25 years, I will undoubtedly take these experiences to my future endeavors. I will always regard my time at the DBR Chamber of Commerce as a significant chapter in my professional career.

It's a fantastic chance to put your business in the spotlight and attract the attention of potential clients and partners.
