PREVIEW: New chamber director discusses her past, chamber’s future

PREVIEW: New chamber director discusses her past, chamber’s future
By Sean P. Ray | Managing Editor

Carrie Nolan-Robson, the new executive director of the Northside North Shore Chamber of Commerce, has some big shoes to fill.

Former office holder Gina Grone held the position for six years, and oversaw major changes and growth of the organization during her tenure. When she started, the chamber had 98 dues-paying members. Now that number is around four times that.

However, ask Nolan-Robson how she feels stepping into the role, and she betrays no sign of nervousness or apprehension.

“I’m coming in with a lot of excitement,” she told The Chronicle. “The transition was really great, to have Gina alongside me for a little while there.”

Grone was present for the first few days of Nolan-Robson’s tenure, helping her adjust to the duties of executive director. And while she’s still learning the ropes — Nolan-Robson said she’d likely run the Chamber as business as usual until the end of the year before announcing any major changes or new programs — she has big plans for the future.

Check out the October issue of The Northside Chronicle for the full story.
