The Huntington County Chamber of Commerce marked a distinguished transition in leadership during its Annual Dinner held Tuesday, March 24, where business and community leaders gathered to celebrate service, continuity and new beginnings.

The evening, hosted at Faith Community Church of God, and catered by Holmstyle Catering, featured the formal installation of the Chamber’s 2026 board of directors.

Stepping into the role of board chair is Jill Jamison of Culp CPA Group, who will guide the organization through the coming year with a focus on growth, collaboration and additional educational opportunities for the members. Outgoing chair Bob Caley of RE/MAX Results was recognized for his dedicated leadership and lasting contributions; Jamison presented him with a commemorative chair plaque honoring his years of service to the Chamber.

The 2026 officer team reflects a strong cross-section of the local business community: Danielle Shaw, Bippus State Bank, will serve as chair-elect; Carrie Miller, Innovative Packaging, as treasurer; Paula Whiting, Lake City Bank, as assistant treasurer and Caley will continue to lend his experience as immediate past chair.

The Chamber also extends its sincere appreciation to retiring board members Eric Meehan, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems; Mike Richard and Todd Latta, Parkview Huntington Family YMCA, whose time, insight and commitment have helped shape the organization’s impact in Huntington County.

Continuing board members include Adrian Halverstadt, Hartburg, Roth, Garrott & Halverstadt LLP; Doug Selig, Parkview Huntington Hospital; Eric Meyer, Big E Promos; Heather Eash, Pro Resources; Joy Koch, Parkview Huntington Family YMCA; Katie Shomo, Bowen Health; Katy Herron, Huntington University; Lindsey Bishir, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems; Matt Guhl, First Federal Savings Bank, and Russ Degitz, Huntington County Community Schools.

The Chamber expresses its deep gratitude to Bob Caley and all retiring directors for their years of dedicated service and steadfast support of Chamber initiatives. Special thanks are also extended to Pastor Jason Fields and Faith Community Church of God for the use of their facilities and help with the Annual Dinner.
