94.3 THE WOLF Country That'll Make You Howl!
The Hardin County Chamber of Commerce hosted their final chamber luncheon of the year Wednesday, and the organization took a moment to recognize their outgoing leader.
The chamber said in a message to members that President and CEO Margy Poorman will depart the chamber after three and half years in order “to prioritize family responsibilities in her home state of Ohio.”
Chamber Board President Josh Hubbard said Poorman’s “thoughtful leadership” marked a time of progress, stability, and growth at the chamber.
“Margy’s personal commitment to building relationships, fostering collaboration, and advocating for our members stands out the most to me,” Hubbard said. “At every ribbon-fitting, membership luncheon, meeting, and community event, she brought us a fresh perspective to our community while quickly becoming a familiar and trusted presence.”
Chamber Vice President Kendra Scott said Poorman proved her value to the community with her leadership following the announcement of BlueOval SK.
“She took the bull by the horns and said ‘we’re going to do an economic impact study’ and all the things, and I said ‘okay, you’re brave, because this is a lot, you’re undertaking it,’” Scott said. “She’s brave, and she did it with such skill and grace. I don’t know how many hours she spent, day and night.”
Poorman thanked the chamber’s staff and board members, and said the community makes the chamber’s success possible.
“A special thank you to our chamber members for your continued support of the Hardin County Chamber of Commerce,” Poorman said. “You are the reason that we get to do what we love and enjoy.”
The chamber’s executive committee is working on the transition to new leadership.
