General Manager
The Board is happy to welcome Cynthia Crow as the new General Manager of the Chamber. Cynthia is working to organize the visitors' information center for summer and assisting the volunteer Board with the organization's administration.
This spring, when the office opens, we'll invite the community to an open house where you can meet Cynthia, talk to members of the Chamber Board and learn about advertising opportunities for your business or non-profit. If you have an event for our Upcoming Events calendar send it to Cynthia at: info@acadiachamber.com and she will post it for you.
