Chamber board reorganizes
The Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce recently had to replace five positions, including two board members who resigned and three others whose terms had expired. The reorganization took place at a recent board meeting.
Beth Kroes, who began last year as board president and temporarily stepped aside in the spring, has made her resignation permanent. Mike Rourke has also resigned his board position.
The three-year terms of Matthew Schwartz, Sylvia Gargett and Sharon Sanders expired at the end of December. Kathy Boyts, who has served as interim president, now has that position until the end of Kroes’ term which is December. Andrew Grossnickle accepted the vice-president position and Chip Erwin remains secretary.
According to the Chamber’s by-laws, the board must have a minimum of 11 members and a maximum of 15. Other board members currently serving include Tom Tuttle, Richard Owen, Dan Buchman, Amy Rensberger, Kristi Plikerd, Kip Schumm, Cindy Niles and Lori Richcreek, which brings the total to its minimum of 11.
The board did discuss specific people to fill a couple of more positions and hopes to have at least one more member for the board’s approval at its February meeting.
