It has been an exciting year for the Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce and I want to extend my personal appreciation to you all for your support and engagement with us as we navigated 2019! As I wrap up my year as Chair of the Board of Directors, I am excited to share the news that Kate MacMonagle has accepted the role of Executive Director, effective January 2020. Kate has served as the Chamber’s Membership Services Director since 2017 and many of you have come to know her as “Kate from the Chamber.” The board of Directors is proud to continue our support of Kate in her new role. Patti Goodwin will continue her service to the Chamber and additional staff will be added to the Team very soon.
Kate has been a North Carolinian since 1991. She is a graduate of Apex High School and NC State University and has made her home in Fuquay-Varina since 2008. Kate and her two young children can frequently be found enjoying all of the great amenities our town has to offer. Prior to joining the Chamber, Kate spent nearly twelve years in the corporate world and three years as a Financial Advisor. She is excited to apply her diverse and dynamic skill set to this new role. Her focus has always been on the human side of business, believing that personal connections are what makes Fuquay-Varina unique. As the new Executive Director, Kate will continue to champion collaboration in our community.
Beginning in January, Olivia Scott of Promotional Partners will take the helm as Chair of the Board and James Harris of United Community Bank will serve as Incoming Chair. I look forward to working with Olivia, James, Kate and the Board as we develop our vision to serve YOU, the membership and stakeholders of the greater Fuquay-Varina community, throughout 2020 and beyond. For any needs you may have now or in the future, call the Chamber at 919.552.4947 or email kate@Fuquay-Varina.com. Finally, if you have any additional questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me directly at blconover@practicalscientific.com.
Please join me in congratulating Kate and may you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Warm Regards,
Brandon Conover
Chairman of the Board of Directors
Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce
