ELLICOTTVILLE - President of the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce, Jim Carls, and the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors are excited to announce that Barb Pump has been selected as the organization’s new Executive Director. Barb has been a key employee at the Ellicottville Chamber for a total of 8 years, most recently as the Executive Assistant to the Director. Her experience at the Chamber gives her a strong foundation in project management, public relations and operations management. She has coordinated several of the Chamber’s events and has built strong relationships with community members and Chamber partnerships with clients, vendors and community leaders.
Barb is stepping into the position upon the departure of Brian McFadden. Brian was first a Chamber Board member and became the Executive Director in 1999. During his 26 years with the Chamber, he developed Ellicottville’s brand as a fun loving, family friendly and exciting community. He created strong ad campaigns to bring visitors to Ellicottville year ‘round and increased membership in the Chamber to over 300 members. The Ellicottville Chamber is very appreciative of Brian’s work and contributions to Ellicottville’s residents, partners and the business community’s success.
It is with much optimism that the Chamber will continue to promote the success of this vibrant community of Ellicottville. Learn more about the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce at ellicottvilleny.com.
