Message from the President and CEO
Thank You for Four Great Years
Rick Wells

It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve this organization and this community over the past four-plus years. This will be my last column as San Rafael Chamber CEO, as I will be moving on to the Marin Builders Association next month. I'd like to extend my thanks and my gratitude to our Board, Leaders Circle sponsors and our members for making my time as Chamber CEO so rewarding.
