I have had the honor and privilege to serve, collaborate and partner with the members and partners throughout Schuyler County, The Finger Lakes and New York State in informing, inviting and invigorating visitors and businesses to stimulate our economy in this beautiful region!during a difficult chapter with a global pandemic I fostered collaborations, partnerships and campaigns to assist the local and regional members (maintaining, retaining and recruiting over 400 plus members in all categories) to not only survive through the darkest days but to thrive in leu of them. Often understaffed, with tight budgeting and board, members and community leaders with other pressing priorities. In my departure I left the organization with positive record breaking revenues, strong full and part-time staff, growing relationships and partnerships with major influencers, decision makers and organization that had been strained or non-existent before my hiring. Transition from one web based CRM to another with a new, Simpleview cloud based system and building out a new website and six social media outlets were major projects while managing matching fund grants and other financial challenges for both the roles of chamber executive and Tourism Promotion Agency Director for the county of Schuyler. Facilitated a clean complete and thorough audit using strong policies, procedures and managing revenues of memberships, sponsorships, PPP and events and activities.
