The Elizabethtown Area Chamber of Commerce (EACC) welcomed Robert Price as its new executive director, effective Sept. 1.
Price came to EACC from the Preservation Trust of Lancaster County, where he served as executive director. His more than 40 years of varied experience also includes serving as the membership services director for the Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Harrisburg, executive director of U.S. Green Building Council - Central Pennsylvania Chapter, and founding executive director of the Downtown State College Partnership.
"The (EACC) board of directors was impressed by Bob's extensive experience in leadership, membership services, program and event development, strategic planning, marketing and fundraising, as well as his enthusiasm for helping our member businesses and the local community succeed," noted Tina Lutter, president of EACC's board of directors. "We are confident he has the skills to lead our Chamber and provide continued value to our members."
"I look forward to advocating, promoting and supporting our member businesses and the community at large as we navigate the challenges and opportunities the current economic climate provides," Price said. He added that he will eventually maintain regular hours at the Chamber's office, but he is currently going into the community to meet Chamber members.
Price holds a bachelor's degree in urban and regional planning from the University of Cincinnati, where he graduated with honors. He is the founder of PennPrice Management Group.
He and his wife, Marcia, reside in Elizabethtown. They have four grown children and five grandchildren.
