The Zionsville Chamber of Commerce board of directors voted to approve the lease for a larger office space at their open board meeting held Nov. 20.
“I am ready to move forward,” said Chamber Executive Director Julie Johns Cole.
Beginning Jan. 1, the new office will be located at 95 E. Elm St.
Completing his two-year term, board president Bryan Traylor thanked the members for their support and commented on outstanding membership growth.
“With the phenomenal board of directors, our membership and the town of Zionsville, this set the stage for 25 percent growth in membership, a voice in economic development in Zionsville and increased advocacy for our members,” Traylor stated.
Zionsville Town Council President Jeff Papa addressed the members with town highlights. Of the many he shared, Papa was pleased with the cooperative relationship built during the annex discussions with Whitestown Town Council President Julie Whitman. The main objective, he stated, was to make collaborative concessions and avoid litigation.
Vice President Lesley Hunt and Treasurer Gary Icenogle were elected for another term. Tom Casalini, of Casalini Portraits and Kathy Scales-Brown, of Brown’s on Main, are new board members.
