Chandler Ladd, of Hopkinsville, will oversee development, planning and management of the chamber’s membership initiatives and will work on strategies to recruit new members, the chamber said Wednesday in a news release. Her responsibilities will also include helping existing members maximize the benefits of their membership.
“I am looking forward to serving our community in a new light as Christian County holds a special place in my heart,” Ladd said in a news release. “I feel fortunate to walk alongside the business community helping them grow and our community prosper.”
A graduate of Hopkinsville High School, Ladd earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Louisville. She is a 2019 graduate of Hopkinsville-Christian County Leadership.
