There’s a new leader at the Carlisle Area Chamber of Commerce.
Nicole Deary, executive director of Leadership Cumberland for the last five years, will begin as president and CEO of the Chamber on Aug. 22. She has more than 18 years of fundraising, marketing and community leadership experience, including a stint as the Chamber’s events and marketing director.
Deary has also held positions with the Shippensburg University Foundation and Project SHARE.
“Nicole’s experience paired with her drive and creativity will set the Chamber up for success in the near and distant future,” Ashleigh Goss, chairperson of the Chamber’s board, said in a release. “She has fantastic ideas that will build upon the Chamber’s strong relationships to assist in the community’s growth as a whole.”
In addition, the Chamber announced that Leadership Cumberland will now be a joint endeavor of the Carlisle Area Chamber and the West Shore Chamber of Commerce.
“My plan is to increase the Chamber’s vision and work with our members to be the catalyst for growth in our business community and within Cumberland County,” Deary said. “I’m excited for the opportunity to bring Leadership Cumberland along with me as well as partner with the West Shore Chamber to continue to serve the county in developing effective leaders for the workplace and community.”
