The St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce honored more than 100 new executives to the St. Joseph business community at its New Executive Welcome Aug. 17 at the Metropolitan, 107 S. Sixth St.
The purpose of the New Executives Welcome is to recognize and welcome those who are new to management in St. Joseph. They could be newly promoted or transferred into St. Joseph from another location. Because of the pandemic, the Chamber hadn’t hosted the event since 2019, so new executives from then until now were invited to participate.
“Tonight is a celebration of many people’s accomplishments in their careers,” said Natalie Redmond, President and CEO of the Chamber. “This is an interesting time in our economy and those taking leadership positions should be recognized for all they they do.”
New executives received recognition at the event, food and drinks as well as a goodie bag filled with items from Chamber member businesses. The event is presented by the Family Guidance Center for Behavioral Healthcare. The following is a list of new executives who were honored and their companies:
