Congratulations to our new Chairman!

Chamber South names Joe Corradino as Chairman of the Board.
Joe was elected to Pinecrest Village Council in November of 2006. Spurred to service from a long history of working on local planning and infrastructure projects, he is motivated by a desire for community service.
Educated at Villanova University, and with a Masters of Science in Urban Planning from the University of Cincinnati, Joe is a certified urban planner who is a partner in The Corradino Group. This family-owned planning and engineering firm was established by his father in 1971.
Joe believes that by volunteering in the community in any capacity, one can improve its overall quality of life. Much of his time, from his youth until today, has been in community service.
Chamber South thanks Joe for his commitment to our organization and the community and businesses which it serves.
A very special thank you to Carol Alexander for her dedication, commitment and hard work this past year as Chamber South's Chair.
