Chamber Welcomes Its New Executive Director
The Grand Ledge Chamber of Commerce was pleased to announce they hired a new Executive Director. Amy Hoyes began as the Executive Director on April 16, 2018.
I am thrilled to be working with local businesses and community members to grow chamber engagement in Grand Ledge.
Amy comes to the chamber most recently as Development Director for the American Heart Association. Previously she was Vice President of Development for a nonprofit in South Carolina where she was responsible for raising more than $1 million in corporate and community engagement through events, sponsorships, and donations.
I love seeing local businesses working together to collaborate and thrive in communities. At my core, I am a community engagement and outreach person who loves to network and connect people for a common mission. My family chose to live in Grand Ledge, and I am excited to see this family-friendly town come together to not only grow commerce, but lead new families moving into the region to all the great annual events and support that the chamber provides.
With more than 11 years of nonprofit experience, along with advertising sales, a stint as a television producer and a newspaper reporter, Amy brings ideas and energy to this position. She was a chamber ambassador for several years and was accepted into two different Chamber leadership programs in the Carolinas.
A graduate of Elon University in North Carolina with journalism and business degrees, she will be running the day to day operations of the Chamber as well as fundraising and marketing in the community.
She has two beautiful daughters - Madison is studying at Michigan State University, and Camden is at Beagle Middle School. Her family would not be complete without her two fur babies, Max and Marley, who are rescues from an animal shelter.
In her spare time, she loves to walk her dogs, play board games with her kids, watch movies, and swim at the YMCA. Spending most of her life in the South, shes excited for the Michigan adventures she plans to have in the Great Lakes state!
You can connect with Amy at the Chamber office Monday-Friday from 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM or email her at amy@grandledgechamber.com.
Together we can make the Grand Ledge Chamber of Commerce a valuable resource for all residents and businesses in this community.
