Chamber Executive Director to Resign

For Immediate Release:

The Board of Directors of the Oak Park River Forest Chamber of Commerce announces the resignation of our Executive Director, Cathy Yen.  We are grateful for the 5 years of outstanding service she has provided in leading the organization to unprecedented levels of prominence and professionalism and thrilled for her and the opportunity she is pursuing; but are also sad that we will not be able to continue our work together to promote and support the success and development of our members in the local small business community.

Cathy has accepted a position as the Director of Operations with Beat the Streets, a Chicago based not for profit focused on developing youth through mentoring and sports activities.  She will assume her new role in early October.

Please join with us in thanking Cathy for her contributions to our organization and wishing her success in her new endeavors.  An announcement concerning our new Executive Director will be made shortly.
