Lisa Egan is new Chamber executive director
Reading, MA, November 21, 2014 –
Reading-North Reading Chamber of Commerce President Lisa DeLeo is pleased to announce that Lisa Egan of Reading has been chosen as its new executive director.
“The Reading-North Reading Chamber of Commerce is a vital organization in both communities and it is a pleasure to come on board at such an exciting time. I am honored for the opportunity to be a part of the Chamber and its future success,” said Egan. “I look forward to its possibilities and growth potential and I believe there is much work that can be done to increase Chamber value and awareness and provide continuity to its image.”
Lisa has owned her own freelance editing and instructional design business for the past 2 ½ years and has worked at a major textbook publishing firm in Boston where she managed a large team of employees and consultants and picked up her juggling skills when working on time-sensitive projects.
No stranger to Reading fund-raising, Egan served on the Joshua Eaton Playground Committee, where she and her committee raised $50,000 and the Sturges Park Master Planning Committee to improve and update the park, playground and wetlands.
“Lisa’s background is the perfect combination of event planning and project management, while giving back to the local communities,” said DeLeo. “We are looking forward to working with Lisa, who comes highly recommended and we are anxious to get her on board.”
Not to worry, Lisa has jumped in feet first and is already working on the Holiday Lighting Festivals in both Reading and North Reading that take place on November 30. She is also preparing promotional material for a Name the Elf contest featured in local businesses where children can take a chance to name the Chamber elf by dropping their entries into an entry box. And, she is working with the Auction Committee on the Chamber’s 12 Days of Christmas online auction, raising funds to offset the cost of the lighting festivals enjoyed in both towns throughout the holidays.
“Not bad for her first week’s agenda!” said DeLeo.
Lisa earned a bachelor of arts from Providence College and she has years of experience in communications, advertising, event planning, fund-raising and management.
President Lisa DeLeo plans a welcoming reception for the full Chamber membership after the holidays.
“Congratulations to the Search Committee for conducting the interview process,” said DeLeo. “The competition was stiff, but we are confident Lisa will prove to be a valuable asset to the Chamber’s mission of local businesses partnering with the community, public officials and each other to improve the economy and quality of life in Reading and North Reading.
Lisa has been a resident of Reading for 13 years.
