Stanzilis said his business background and government experience position him well to support chambers members.

The chamber is the perfect intersection of my business and government experience and my passion for economic growth, he said. In addition, in my previous position I was a chamber member so I understand the perspectives and needs of businesses.

The member experience is extremely important to me. It starts by listening to the members to learn their needs and expectations and understanding that those needs and expectations are different for each business. My goal is to align those needs and expectations with our programs and help them succeed and grow.

I also want to show prospective members the benefits of membership, including the opportunities to network with other businesses of all sizes and interact with government officials, as well as education and training.
