The Mooresville Chamber of Commerce is off to a fast start in 2018. In our last article, Susan Haynes, our president, introduced herself while laying out the rich body of tradition and experience, we as a leadership team — and the chamber as a whole — have at our fingertips.

We asked

As a student of history, I believe in looking at the past to prepare for the future. I’ve been talking with current and past board members as well as looking through documents of our history. I begin this year looking in awe at the list of those who have come before me.
