Chamber assesses efforts in challenging year

WELLS RIVER—“This year has been like no other for the chamber,” Cohase Chamber of Commerce Board President Andrew Barter said at this year’s annual meeting held on Jan 19.
The organization pivoted in response to the pandemic from its regular lineup of activities and tackled projects that strengthened its foundation. Although it produced at least one annual event along with a virtual summit, the overall theme for 2021 was organization and a new level of leadership.
The first big change of the year came in the first quarter with a new executive director, Ruth Ann Hacking.
