Dear colleagues,

Some of you may have heard already but I resigned as executive director of the chamber.  I had a new baby in October so I am going home for now to spend more time with my children.  My last day is today.  After next week this e-mail will no longer exist so future chamber business should be directed to cocdirector@yanceychamber.com or info@yanceychamber.com.  My assistant, Miki Pontorno will serve as interim director until the board hires a new executive director.  If you need to get in touch with me please call Miki at 828 682-7413 or e-mail her at cocdirector@yanceychamber.com.  However, I will be checking this e-mail through next week.

Thank you and best wishes,
 
Shannon Harding-Raines
Executive Director
Yancey County/Burnsville Chamber of Commerce
