As your Chamber President the past 9 years, I was dedicated to my Chamber Members striving to support their businesses through our programs, events and community partnerships.  I’ve always tried to be community minded, realizing the importance of collaboration and hard work.

There are so many who helped with the many accomplishments the Chamber celebrated during my time as your Chamber President.  A special thank to the “Chamber Chicks” past and present (and Gerry) who worked diligently by my side.   I will forever thank you for believing in me and allowing me to serve you and Pickens County.  Denise Duncan
