Vashon Chamber of Commerce names new Executive Director

Please join us in welcoming James Marsh, the new Executive Director of the Vashon Island Chamber of Commerce.

Jim brings a wealth of experience to Vashon businesses and the community. He has been a private business owner, the President of the Board of the Evanston Illinois Chamber of Commerce and was co-founder and organizer of the Evanston Grand Prix.

His experience as an entrepreneur, marketing/public relations professional, event coordinator and a community leader makes him uniquely qualified to take on the role of Executive Director. Practical hands on experience in the development of budgets, cultivating relationships and sponsorships, coordination with local government officials, recruiting local volunteers and vendor management are just a sampling of his many talents.

Jim and his partner Heather and their two dogs (Trouble and Moo) have lived on the island for two years. While Jim is a relatively new islander he is passionate about Vashon Island, the well being of the community as a whole and the success of the Chamber of Commerce. Jim’s official first day on the job will be July 18th.

Please join us in welcoming Jim at next week’s General Membership Mixer Meeting.
