“Bringing on Scott means we have officially entered the next era of opportunity for the Henderson Chamber,” said Rick Smith, chairman of the board of directors. “It has been a very comprehensive search.

His range of expertise in dealing with business owners, and small-business owners in particular, is valuable.”
