About 24 business owners, community members, retired residents and a few new faces attended a recent meeting of the Mineral County Chamber of Commerce, which is reopening after years of dormancy.
“Things like that happen. There’s an ebb and flow to most everything and that holds true with organizations like this one,” said Drew Hanson, who has taken the reins of the county’s business advocacy organization.
“My position is the interim president as we are giving this launch 90-days to get our feet under us by having an election for administrative positions and tactical discussions of where we are today,” he explained. “People that are really interested and passionate about this are those who I’d like to see step up and take what we’re starting right now by putting their name on the nomination list and run with it. Or, someone not here that you know would be a good candidate. I feel we have the community members willing and capable of doing this right now,” Hanson said.
