The DeKalb Chamber Partnership announced that Shannon Carpenter has accepted the role of Executive Director effective immediately. Carpenter has served as Interim Executive Directory since June 24th, 2019 and the organization has thrived under her leadership. A similar result to what the organization experienced during her first tenure as director from 2013-2015.

The Chamber Board of Directors also voted in two new board members; Steve Snider and Rick Collins. The new members fill two seats left vacant by resignations earlier in the year. Steve Snider is the current CFO for DeKalb County Central United School District. Prior to joining the school, Snider spent twenty years in the local manufacturing industry.
