“I rise today to recognize Susan Williams, the president and CEO of the Venango Area Chamber of Commerce. Susan will retire at the end of the month after 20 years of dedicated service. Susan first started working for the Venango Area Chamber of Commerce in 2006 as the assistant executive director. She became the president and CEO 1 year later. During her first year with the chamber, Susan operated with a team of just two full-time staff and a summer intern. However, she quickly expanded the team and the programming offered by the chamber. Susan was instrumental in the launch of FLEX, Venango County's young professionals organization. This initiative helps young people in the county collaborate and develop leadership skills. In addition to FLEX, Susan helped launch Leadership Venango. This is a 9-month program designed to educate and motivate individuals in the community who aspire to be leaders. Mr. Speaker, I thank Susan for her selflessness and serving Venango County so well. I congratulate Susan on her retirement.”
