Under the guidance of the Executive Committee, AC-REP formed a partnership in early 2020 with the Metro North Chamber of Commerce to form a single business organization representing Adams County and the metro-north region. AC-REP also created and implemented several vital programs to assist area businesses with COVID-19 impacts, launched a strategic planning process, and led a coalition to overwhelmingly pass Adams County Ballot Measures 1A & 1B on the November Ballot.
“Our success as a member-driven organization engaged and focused on regional issues is heavily impacted by the exceptional leaders serving on our Board of Directors and Executive Committee,” said Stone. “Coupled with strong member retention and engagement with our area communities, we have unprecedented momentum moving into 2021.”
