HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, May 22, 2022) – It was called the Holland Area Chamber of Commerce when Jane Clark was named its new president on May 20, 2004. On September 1, 2022, she will leave the leadership post in what is now called the Michigan West Coast Chamber of Commerce.
On Friday, the Chamber announced that Jodi Owczarski will be elevated from her current position as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer to become its new President, replacing Clark, who is retiring but will remain on board as a Senior Advisor through the end of December.
Clark has been a part of the Chamber for 32 years and assumed the interim president’s spot in October of 2003, seven months before her permanent appointment. During her tenure, she saw the merger of the Holland and Zeeland chambers into its present Michigan West Coast Chamber, as well as the renovation of the chamber’s headquarters off of East 8th Street near Holland’s Eastern Gateway, among many honors earned by the entity representing business in the region.
Owczarski was the unanimous choice of the chamber’s board to replace Clark.
A special ceremony honoring Clark’s achievements will be part of the Chamber’s annual Awards Celebration on September 20th.
