Change is in the air at your Camden County Chamber of Commerce office! As you may already be aware, in June the Chamber offices relocated to the Kingsland North Center at 531 North Lee Street. Due to the generosity of the Kingsland City Council, this new location is now your one-stop-shop for all things economic development. In addition to the Chamber offices, you will find the Camden County JDA, The Camden Partnership and the Kingsland Economic Development offices. Stop by & check out the new location!
In July, Chamber President Leslie Hamrick resigned and, in effort to effectively utilize all available resources, your Chamber Board of Directors chose to contract with the Kingsland CVB for interim executive services. Tonya Rosado will be continuing her roll as the Kingsland CVB Executive Director, as well as the Interim Chamber President/CEO. Through contractual services, Tonya will divide her time between the two organizations until a new Chamber President/CEO is hired.
For matters involving the Kingsland CVB, Tonya can be reached at Tonya@VisitKingsland.com and Ph: (912) 729.5999. For items involving the Camden County Chamber of Commerce, Tonya can be reached at President@CamdenChamber.com and Ph: (912) 729-5840. <See more information here>
