Stephanie Hemphill to leave Lacey chamber job

Stephanie Hemphill, who has led the Lacey chamber as executive director for about a year and a half will be leaving her job to take a position with the Association of Washington Business.

Hemphill said it’s not all about the money but also the opportunity to work with a statewide organization.

 
During her short tenure with the Lacey chamber, Hemphill has led the chamber to a name change – – adding South Sound – – to the name;  and began the process of moving the chamber office from Hawks Prairie to Woodland Square.

Chamber President Madeline White said the chamber will begin the process of finding a replacement for Hemphill, but will take it slow to find the perfect person for the job.  “We have good staff who can fill in during the interim,” she said.
