A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Outgoing President, Kerry!
There are people in every community who show up consistently, and wholeheartedly — and Kerry is exactly that person for Waterford. As President of the Waterford Chamber of Commerce, Kerry has been an unwavering anchor for our organization and our community. From opening the doors of her restaurant to host countless Chamber events, to volunteering countless hours across so many local initiatives, Kerry has given of herself in ways that have truly shaped who we are as a Chamber and as a community.At our recent annual meeting, Kerry announced that she will be passing the torch at the end of this Chamber year. We are so grateful for everything she has built, nurtured, and championed. Kerry, thank you — from the bottom of all of our hearts. Waterford is a better place because of you, and we are lucky to have you continue walking alongside us.
Welcoming New Leadership
We are excited to announce that Hillary will be stepping in as our new President beginning September 2026, with Millie taking on the role of Social Media Coordinator. Both bring wonderful energy and dedication to these roles, and they will have the very best guide in Kerry as they find their footing. We couldn’t be more confident in where we are headed.
