The Board of Directors thanks Gretchen for her years of  service to the Chamber and its members, and wishes her well in future endeavors.

When I spoke with Tom Wheeler the President of the Board of Directors he said that existing and past staff will fill in for Gretchen. Also the Board will become more hands-on in the meantime. He wasn't sure what the timetable would be for her eventual replacement.
