Hope Mills Area Chamber announces departure of President Casey Ferris

By Staff Report, posted 1 year ago

The Hope Mills Area Chamber of Commerce (HMACC) today (March 8)  announced the resignation of its President, Casey Ferris, effective immediately.

Ferris has served on the HMACC board for six years, the last two as President. During her tenure, she championed initiatives that fostered business growth and collaboration within the Hope Mills community.

"Casey's dedication and leadership have been instrumental in advancing the Chamber's mission and supporting our local businesses," said Lake Wood, Board Secretary for the HMACC in a press release. 

Ferris' decision to step down stems from a personal desire to relocate closer to family.

"This was not an easy choice," said Ferris in a press release. "I am incredibly proud of the work we accomplished together at the Chamber and I'm grateful for the relationships I've built with our members and the Hope Mills community. However, the opportunity to be closer to family is too important to pass up."

The HMACC Board of Directors will initiate a search for Ferris' successor. In the interim, Karsie Lowe will assume the responsibilities of President on a temporary basis.

"We wish Casey all the best in her future endeavors. The Hope Mills Chamber remains committed to serving our members and fostering a thriving business environment in Hope Mills,” concluded Lowe in a press release.
