New Ellsworth Chamber Director Turns Down Position
The Ellsworth Area Chamber of Commerce announced on March 29th that Jacqueline Ewing had been hired as Executive Director and would begin her new position on Monday, April 3rd.
However on Friday, March 31st Ewing emailed Board President Tom Wheeler stating
“After careful consideration, I have chosen to move forward in a different direction and so I will not be accepting the position of Executive Director of the Ellsworth Area Chamber of Commerce. I wish the Board success in their continued search, and am thankful for the meaningful discussions we have had over the past few weeks.”
Wheeler in a statement said “The Board accepts Jacki’s decision and we wish her the best. Our search committee will continue its search for leadership that will guide the Chamber’s transition into the next phase of its growth.”
