Message from 2026 Chairman of the the Board
It is truly an honor to serve as Chair of the Board of Directors for an organization that sits at the heart of business success in Dorchester County. The Chamber has been a consistent source of guidance, opportunity, and connection throughout my entrepreneurial journey. When I opened my first business in 2006, the Chamber was not just a name on a website—it was a trusted resource filled with people who believed in growth, leadership, and community.
Our Chamber of Commerce is more than a membership; it is a business advantage. It is where relationships are built, visibility is created, and leadership is developed. I encourage every business, large or small, new or established—to actively engage with our Chamber. Attend events. Build partnerships. Lean into the resources. This organization is here to equip, elevate, and advocate for you.
As Chair, I am committed to leading with integrity, vision, and accountability. I will work closely with our Board of Directors and Chamber CEO to keep the organization strategic, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of our business community. I am also dedicated to strengthening engagement, increasing awareness of Chamber resources, and ensuring the Chamber remains a powerful voice for economic growth and business excellence.
My mission has always been rooted in service. I am committed to leading with purpose, keeping our word, and creating organizations built to endure. Through discipline, focus, and a collective dedication to excellence, our local business community can confidently support a Chamber recognized as one of the strongest on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
My own story began as a little girl from Queens, New York with big dreams. Ironically, Dorchester County became the place where those dreams came to life. With intention and teamwork, I am confident that 2026 will become our business community’s strongest year yet. The foundation is laid, now is the time to build boldly, lead confidently, and grow collectively!
Together, through connection, collaboration, and consistency, we will continue moving Dorchester forward.
