Lacey chamber seeks new executive director

The Lacey South Sound Chamber of Commerce is looking for a new executive director.

After three years at the helm of the chamber, executive director Sierra Burton Roundy is leaving to follow her new husband to Tacoma while he attends school.  She has taken a job as marketing director for a Tacoma firm.

Roundy’s last day is today, but she will continue to work for the Lacey chamber two days a week through the BBQ Festival in July.

While money was not a factor in her leaving, the chamber will have to pay its staff better if it wants to retain good employees, she said.

Current president Martin McElliott is starting the search for a replacement.
