KILLINGTON - On Monday, Dec. 9, the Killington Chamber of
Commerce announced the appointment of Amy Morrison as the Chamber
director beginning immediately. The new part-time position was
unanimously approved by the Chamber's Executive Committee to
replace the business manager position.
As the director, Morrison will be charged with managing the day-to-day operations of the Chamber and creating a strategic operating plan for the Chamber to ensure long-term viability of the organization.
"I am thrilled with the opportunity and look forward to helping the organization grow and flourish," stated Morrison.
Coming to the Chamber with strong experience in marketing, fundraising and event planning, President Howard Smith stated, "With her background and her experience, we are confident Amy will be a driving force behind the long-term development and growth of the Chamber." Smith added, "The creation of this position reorganizes the chamber's staffing structure to better fulfill its mission."
Morrison currently serves as the Events and Marketing Coordinator for the Town of Killington. She will continue in that position, working 30 hours per week for the town.

Comment: Well finally the Chamber figured out a way to get their staffing subsidized. To me it would be really hard to distinguish between Ms. Morrision's duties as the town Events and Marketing Coordinator and Chamber Director as many of her duties will overlap. I personally am not OK with this situation - it smacks of conflict of interest - town vs chamber. I suppose if you're sympathetic to a financially struggling Chamber this might be a godsend.
I bet the next town subsidy to the Chamber will be having the town road crew removing snow from the Chamber's parking lot because of the Park and Ride.
