This makes the Paducah Area Chamber the fifth largest Chamber in Kentucky, behind Louisville, Northern Kentucky, Lexington, and around 100 businesses less than Bowling Green.
The campaign exceeded its goal and recruited 142 new members during the four-week campaign.
"This has been a busy time for the Chamber with our recent trip to DC, to our local seminars and events, to having this campaign underway,” said Bruce Wilcox, chair-elect of the Paducah Chamber and president of Petter Supply. “Our new members range from Fluff Cupcakes to several new businesses under construction such as IMAC Regeneration Center, Chin Restaurant and Vertical Jump Park to some established businesses who have not been a member and have now decided to join.”
The top producer for the volunteers for the campaign was Janice Cleary with Paducah Bank. Second place individual award went to David Morse with KeeFORCE; third place was Jill Harper with Capstone HR; fourth place was Jessica Newman with Advantage Insurance; and fifth place was Tony Copeland with Arkema.
The Paducah Bank team will receive the “traveling trophy” award for overall team winner with Cleary serving as Team Captain. Cleary’s team recruited 20 new members and 14 one-year renewals and multiple sponsorships. The team captained by David Morse with KeeFORCE received second place and the third place team was McMurry & Livingston Team with Whitney Denson as captain.
Chamber membership is open throughout the year.
