Lake Area Chamber of Commerce announces new President & CEO
by Mindi Funderburg
The Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce that Cindy
Harreld has been named President & CEO.
Harreld began her career at the Chamber in 1983 as the Bookkeeper/Director
of Software. She later assumed the responsibilities of Project Manager,
coordinating several Chamber committees as well as administrative support to
the Board of Directors. In 1988 Harreld became the Director of Membership
and Special Projects, organizing the Membership Division as well as many of
the fundraising projects of the Chamber. Following the reorganization of the
Chamber structure in June of 1990, she became the Director of Special
Projects and has successfully coordinated several committees responsible for
raising over $115,000 per year.
A resident of the Clear Lake Area since 1974, Harreld is a graduate of Clear
Lake High School. Since becoming a member of the Clear Lake Area Chamber of
Commerce staff she has continued her education by attending several
chamber related courses including graduating from the United States Chamber
of Commerce Institute of Organizational Management at Southern Methodist
University in June of 1993.
"We are excited that Cindy Harreld has accepted the permanent position of
President & CEO of our Chamber,” said Clear Lake Area Chamber Chairman of
the Board Richard A. Simmons, Cokinos, Bosien & Young. “She has worked
tirelessly as interim President & CEO, which is a time when many
organizations falter, and her efforts are a major reason why our Chamber has
continued to move forward during our transition period. The Board is
confident that as President & CEO Cindy will serve our Chamber with the same
devotion she has shown for the past twenty-five years."
“I am honored that our Board of Directors has entrusted me to lead the Clear
Lake Area Chamber of Commerce by serving the community it represents,”
Harreld said. “It is my intention to give the same dedication and commitment
as the President & CEO as I have given to the organization throughout my
adult life.”
