WELCOME
2023 CHAIR
Jim Jennings
Clear View Insurance
It has been an honor to serve as chairman, and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue contributing to the growth and the prosperity of the Moore Chamber As I rotate out of this role, I want to express my sincere gratitude to all of the dedicated members and all the partnerships that have made my time as a chairman very rewarding I am proud of the achievements we’ve made together and I am confident in the continued success of our chamber
Thank you for allowing me to lead, learn, and collaborate with such dynamic group of business owners. It’s been a privilege to work alongside passionate professionals who are committed to the betterment of all of our local businesses. Thank you again for the incredible support. When former CEO, Kathy Gillette first approached me, I didn’t think I had the time or the energy to devote to the chamber. As is with everything she asked for, she usually got her way. She won me over and looking back, I’m so glad she did. I know I will definitely miss Kathy, however I know we’re in great hands with Kim and the staff. I leave my role with a sense of accomplishment and gratitude, together we’ve strengthened the foundation for the thriving business community. I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to everyone who has contributed to our shared success. Moore Strong!!
2024 CHAIR
Brianna Wall
Oklahoma Electric Cooperative
I’m Brianna Wall of OEC and OEC Fiber, this year’s Moore Chamber of Commerce Board Chair and I am beyond excited for what’s in store for not only Chamber members this year, but the entire community of Moore. We work hard to impact businesses in meaningful ways, and I look forward to continuing that forward growth in 2024. I’m most excited about our first-ever Barbecue & Music Festival coming this fall, another great class of Leadership Moore and our continued Women’s Impact Network events that spotlight women-owned and operated businesses. Join me for a year full of networking, advocacy, celebration and fun, and let’s grow your business together!
