CDT Fact Sheet

Sample Ballot

First, I would like to thank Debbie and Stephanie for the fine job they have done the past nine years guiding the Chamber. Those efforts have not gone unnoticed by me and I appreciate their hard work and devotion towards making our area a great place to live and work.

I sought this position as Executive Director mainly because of two reasons – Importance and Opportunity. It is extremely important to maintain and advance our community throughout its commercial, industry, retail, agricultural, educational and civic progress through leadership and service.

The opportunities we have are only limited through our ability to realize and develop plans that allow us to be prosperous, growing and relevant as a Chamber and a community.

I am excited and honored to be chosen to serve as the Chamber Executive Director and pledge to be committed every day to moving our community forward through leadership, devotion and hard work.
