Jeanne Krueger's service as President and CEO of the Rome Floyd Chamber of Commerce leaves a legacy.

The past 18 months have been filled with a significant amount of change and transition due to the pandemic. Rome Floyd Chamber has demonstrated a great deal of resilience and perseverance during this challenging time.

While we were surprised by Jeanne Krueger’s decision to resign, we are excited for her as she prepares to enter a new chapter of her life. Jeanne’s service as President and CEO of the Rome Floyd Chamber of Commerce leaves a legacy. She began her tenure with the restructuring and to some degree the rebranding of the chamber. She led a capital campaign which resulted in raising over $1.5 million dollars thanks to her work with a host of community partners.

During the pandemic the chamber doors remained open to our members providing them with information and opportunities to survive the pandemic. She was responsible for putting over $30,000 back into the community with the matching gift card initiative that literally sold out in five minutes. The event helped to spotlight our small business community.

During her time as President and CEO, the chamber had a 44% increase in African American and Hispanic owned businesses. That’s only a few of the accomplishments achieved during her leadership.

As the chamber moves forward with new leadership, the goal is to maintain the momentum that Jeanne began when she transitioned into the role a little more than two years ago. We look forward to serving our new members and working with our community partners as we return to our new normal. Sincerely,

Cassandra Wheeler Rome Floyd Chamber 2021 Chairperson of the Board
