The Chamber’s Board of Directors expressed appreciation for Miller’s service, noting her leadership during a challenging period for the organization and the community. “The chamber has been really appreciative of Amy,” Board President Kathy Watson said. “She came in at a really difficult time and we are sad to see her go. She did a really excellent ob.” The board announced that Crain will now serve as executive director.
