The Board of Directors of the Ellsworth Area Chamber of Commerce announces the resignation of Gretchen Wilson from the position of Executive Director. Gretchen joined the Chamber staff in 2013 as Community Manager, and has served as the Chamber’s Executive Director from 2016 to present. 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.
