Four new members added to Chamber board

The Wrangell Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors has a new alignment of members after their Oct. 15 round of voting to fill four vacant seats.

Wrangellites Christie Jamieson, Kris Reed, Janell Privett, and Borough Manager Tim Rooney won their seats after all the votes were counted. In addition to the four winners, Solvay Bakke, LJ Messenger, Doug Robbins, and Mike Symons all put their names forward for the openings.

Privett, who is past-president of the chamber, said she is ready to roll up her sleeves and get to work.

“I’m excited to continue my work with the chamber and other agencies,” Privett said. “Economic growth is an absolute need for this community and I intend to work as hard as I always do.”

The four will now join current president John Taylor, Cori Robinson, John Waddington, Paul Southland, Mike Nash, and Rich Rhodes on the board.

The board will meet on Oct. 31 at noon in the chamber office to elect a new slate of officers.
