OLEAN – The Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce (GOACC) is thrilled to announce the promotion of Christine Pecherzewski to Director of Events & Operations. Part-time Interim Executive Director Adam Jester will remain contracted with the organization to handle marketing, advertising, and business development.
“This year has been one of transition for the GOACC, with several new talented team members joining the organization,” Jester said. “Christine came on in a part time role in February, and has since held positions in Reception, Membership, and Events. We felt her skills and dedication to the mission, and the members, made for a great opportunity to promote from within, to secure a full time Director to lead the organization forward.”
Jester also announced the recent promotion of Belle Martinelli to Membership Services Specialist. “Belle also came in as a part-timer originally, but as we revamped the roles and aligned folks with their strengths and interests, it became clear that her skills were a perfect fit for this role.”
In addition, the Chamber welcomes Receptionist Meg Pavone to the team, to provide some much needed bandwidth as the calendar turns toward the busy holiday event and shopping season.
Residents and tourists alike are encouraged to stop into the GOACC Gift Shop at 301 N Union St in Olean for a variety of gifts and stocking stuffers - including local business ornaments, gift certificates, and Olean-area swag. Purchases can also be made online at Shop.OleanNY.com.
The area’s favorite holiday tradition - the Santa Claus Lane Parade - is the next event on the schedule, happening on Friday, November 29th on North Union St in Olean. The parade begins at 6:30pm. Applications are still being accepted to participate in the parade at www.OleanNY.com/ParadeApp. Award and event sponsors are also being sought. Sponsorship opportunities can be found at www.OleanNY.com/Sponsorships.
