The Pembroke Area Chamber of Commerce recently announced that Wendy Moore will serve as the organization’s new office manager.
Moore, a recent retiree, expressed her excitement to assist the Chamber in achieving its vision of the empowerment, and economic vitality of its businesses.
“I believe that my years of public service leadership and community engagement will complement your vision to grow the town of Pembroke, while providing her residents and businesses with opportunities that grow the community.
