Embracing Change & Exciting Times Ahead!

We close a big chapter as we bid a heartfelt farewell to our beloved Mavil Aghadjanian. We recently gathered to celebrate her time with us and send her off with gratitude for her dedication and impact on the Chamber. At the same time, we are thrilled to welcome Molly Burke as our new executive director and look forward to all the great things ahead under her leadership! Molly shared:

“As we dive into spring, I want to thank everyone for their support and enthusiasm. I’m looking forward to all we’re building together – starting with some fantastic events this season!”

Behind the scenes, we’ve been hard at work planning the highly-anticipated Craft Beer Fest, which will take place on April 6. Mark your calendars; we can’t wait to bring the community together for another fantastic event!

We are also excited to introduce new faces to the board of directors this year. Please join us in warmly welcoming our newest board members: Armine Babaian, Sean Doorly, Aspet Hovanessian and Kelly Singh. Their enthusiasm and expertise will be invaluable as we continue to grow and strengthen our Chamber.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first Chamber mixer of the year at Sparr Heights Estates! We enjoyed an exciting night with themed games, prizes, great company and a three-course dinner! It was a fantastic evening with a great turnout, lively conversations and valuable connections. We truly appreciate your support and participation and we look forward to more opportunities to come together throughout the year.

We look forward to seeing you all again soon and kicking off another wonderful year together!
