Chamber Announces New Board of Directors & 2013 Plans

The Chamber's 82nd Annual Dinner held on February 7, 2013 at the Armacost Car Museum featured a fun evening of great networking and food as well as the announcement of the 2013 Board of Directors and the presentation of the 2013-2017 Strategic Plan.
