The Moore County Chamber announced new leaders for its Board of Directors to foster a vibrant business community while serving as a champion, convener, and catalyst for economic vitality into 2024.
Incoming board chairman Amy Natt, CEO of Aging Outreach Services, succeeds Thomas Boals, Business Development Officer / Senior Vice President with First Bank. Randy Saunders with Provision Ace Hardware will serve as Chair-Elect and Tom Velevis with Dreher Financial Partners will serve as Treasurer.
In 2024, the Moore County Chamber of Commerce will continue to focus on workforce development efforts, including talent retention, talent training, and promoting our community for talent recruitment. The Chamber will also continue to address issues in the areas of childcare, housing and mobility. Networking opportunities, training, and the Chamber’s premier leadership program will be offered throughout the year. The 3rd Floor, located in the Krausen building in downtown Southern Pines, will be a priority of the organization to ensure both members and community members have access to a collaborative workspace.
“The Moore County Chamber has been serving this community for over 56 years and has a long history of responding to the needs of business to foster a vibrant business economy,” said Amy Natt. “The Chamber’s work over the past several years, most recently under Tom’s leadership, has positioned the organization to build on the momentum that has been established with the new facility and focus on key initiatives such as workforce development to ensure a long-term impact on our business community. I look forward to working with the board and the Chamber’s staff as we continue to serve our members and community.”
Also joining the Chamber’s 2024 Board of Directors are Phil Gant, The Honor Foundation, Lindsay Cauthen, Pinehurst, LLC and Dr. Sandy Stewart with Sandhills Community College.
“The leadership of our Board of Directors continues to be extremely important as we navigate the impacts the pandemic has had on our business community,” said Linda Parsons, president and CEO of the Chamber. “We are fortunate to have such strong, strategic business leaders serve on our board. By convening so many dynamic and diverse leaders, we can impact our community.”
