The Greater Fayetteville Chamber has four new board members.
The process of becoming a new board member doesn’t happen quickly. There are several steps that must take place before a person can be on the board. “It’s a nominating process,” explains Shari Fiveash, CEO of the Chamber, “by a nominating committee that presents to the executive committee and president. The membership is then notified by the president.
Newly elected members are usually announced in the first quarter of the year, but the announcement came later this year due to COVID-19.
