Following a nomination period last month, the organization’s Directors Nominating Committee submitted the slate of candidates for review to three-year terms on the chamber board beginning in January 2024, according to a news release.

Nominees are:
• Sean Balisle, KPM CPAs & Advisors.

Chamber members can nominate additional candidates by noon on Oct. 15. If no other candidates are nominated, the seven people submitted by the committee will be installed on the board.

The chamber’s board comprises roughly 30 members, according to its website.
