I, Glenna Blair, will be resigning my job as Chamber secretary at the end of January. I have enjoyed the job for 5 1/2 years and I'm ready for a change, but I will still continue to be active in the Chamber. Shannon Smykil will be taking my place and we have been working together for a few months to guarantee a smooth transition. I have no doubt that she will do a great job.
