The growing Kingsland/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce has hired Traci Miller as its executive director, a position that has been vacant for nine years.
The Sunrise Beach Village resident is tasked with increasing membership and engagement through dedicated programs and more modern technology and communication. The chamber currently has 265 members from the lake area.
“As we’ve grown, we’ve just needed more help,” chamber board Director Susan Patten, who served on the hiring committee that selected Miller, told DailyTrib.com. “The job outgrew a single person.”
That “single person” is Darlene Zubkus, who, as the chamber’s sole employee, was a catch-all for the past nine years. She will now be the operations director, working alongside Miller.
Miller has 20 years of experience in corporate leadership and a background in nutrition, according to a chamber media release announcing her hiring.
“In many ways, helping the Kingsland Chamber in its next chapter is the same as a startup,” Miller is quoted in the release. “I look forward to working with the board and existing staff to identify clear goals and deliver tangible benefits to our members.”
