Moving Forward Together with Strong Leadership and Clear Priorities

On January 28, the Chamber officially unveiled its 2026 Priorities and welcomed Greg Shuler as Chairman of the Board during our Annual Meeting. We are grateful to our members who joined us at Trident Technical College in Summerville for this important milestone and for their continued engagement and investment in the work of the Chamber.


The Annual Meeting was proudly presented by First National Bank of Pennsylvania. We extend our sincere thanks to Peculiar Pig Eats for providing breakfast and to Cold Blooded Caffeine for keeping the coffee flowing throughout the morning. We also appreciate the generous support of our Gold Sponsor, Summerville Journal Scene.

During the program, we took time to recognize outstanding leadership and service. 


We honored Chris Kahler for his dedication and service as Chairman of the Board for 2025.  He will continue to serve on the Chamber Board of Directors as the Immediate Past Chairman, and he will serve as the Chairman of the Chamber's Foundation Board. 

 Michael Wood was reciognized for his many years of leadership and commitment to the Chamber of Commerce, including his impactful role leading the Chamber’s Foundation Board during our Vision Plan efforts. 


He officially retires from the Chamber's Board of Directors, but he will remain on the Foundation Board of Directors as the Immediate Past Chairman through 2026. 


As we look ahead, we are excited about the year to come and the momentum created by our 2026 Priorities. We look forward to
Greg Shuler’s leadership and to a strong year of collaboration, growth, and service as we continue to support and advance our business community—together.
