Issue: Whats News
“This is a unique opportunity for me to continue my commitment to community stewardship through involvement with a legacy project under enlightened corporate and family leadership,” Edwards said.
The Cashiers Area Chamber today announced the departure of veteran executive director, Stephanie Edwards, who will join the Daniel Communities development team as Vice President, Sales & Marketing – Cashiers Lake.
“This is a unique opportunity for me to continue my commitment to community stewardship through involvement with a legacy project under enlightened corporate and family leadership,” Edwards said.
“The past eleven years have been tremendously fulfilling as I’ve worked with outstanding board directors, member businesses and nonprofits. We’ve built the chamber into a successful advocacy organization in support of meaningful community development,” Edwards said.
“We’ve created strong partnerships with the Jackson County Tourism Development Authority, federal, state and local government officials, and other local and regional stakeholders. We’ve grown membership to record levels, ensured financial sustainability, launched Leadership Cashiers, and commissioned the Urban Land Institute growth management analysis, an extraordinary accomplishment for a community of our size.”
Chamber President Ben Harris thanked Edwards for her longstanding service and recognized her leadership of the chamber and community during her tenure.
Daniel Communities Partner Scott Jenkins said, “Stephanie’s experience, talents and energy are welcomed on our leadership team. We look forward to an exciting future with her involvement in this heritage project.” Cashiers Lake will include residential offerings, neighborhood amenities and outdoor recreation and pedestrian experiences.
Edwards will ensure a smooth transition for both organizations and intends to remain active in Chamber activities in a volunteer leadership role.
