New IVAC Executive Director named

The new Executive Director of the Illinois Valley Area Chamber of Commerce is a past board president.  Marci Duro begins Wednesday.  She replaces Barb Koch who’s retiring after 17 years as executive director and CEO.

Duro served two terms on the IVAC board and served as president for two years.  She has owned and managed local employee staffing related businesses.

R.J. Whitecotton is the IVAC Board President.  He says they had many fine candidates and thought Duro’s business background and ability to relate to other business owners was a big plus.
