Within the next three months, several changes within the Chamber staff will have occured. Last month Norma Davey, Director of Administration with more than six years at the Chamber, left to take an exceptional opportunity with one of our members. She is taking the skills and experience learned during her tenure at the Chamber to Joel Hanson and the team at KLOG/KUKN. That’s what happens when you develop your staff: others see how good they are and “steal” them away. No offense, Joel. We really think you are getting a great addition to your team and look forward to working with Norma in the future.

Then there is the position of President of the Chamber. There are less than three months left before that change will occur at the Chamber. While I can’t tell you who will be taking this position yet – we are still in search mode – I can tell you from the background of the candidates who are being considered, that the future of the Kelso Longview Chamber looks very bright, indeed.
Due to phenomenal growth this past year we have moved our offices to a larger more prominent location. Although our address has changed, what remains the same is our competitive pricing, dedication to quality, and the highest levels of customer service.
