The Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce (PACC) is pleased to announce the addition of six distinguished individuals to its Board of Directors. These new board members will be officially installed during the PACC’s Annual Dinner on Nov. 13, proudly presented by Community Credit Union.
Since 1932, the Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce has been a cornerstone of the local business community. Governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, the PACC works to promote, build, and sustain the most effective business climate for its members. The board is made up of leaders from various industries who share a commitment to fostering economic growth and business success.
The six new board members were selected by the PACC’s nominating committee to represent a wide range of businesses and organizations reflective of its membership, bringing diverse perspectives and valuable leadership experience. The slate of directors was presented to the general membership earlier this month and ratified by the members. “We are thrilled to welcome these new members to our board,” incoming Chairman of the Board Brad Gosselin of Bridgewell said. “Their expertise and enthusiasm will be invaluable as we continue to support our members and work toward a vibrant, prosperous future for the entire Peabody business community.”
Joining the board this year are:
– Kerry Armstrong, SERVPRO Salem/Peabody/Marblehead (large employer)
– Anthony Carson, Rockland Trust (finance)
– Randyll Collum, Peabody TV (media)
– Julie Gerraughty, HAWC/Healing Abuse Working for Change (nonprofit)
– Matt Molk, Gravoc (technology)
– Joseph Ruggiero, Ruggiero Family Memorial Home (funeral home)
“Membership in the Chamber isn’t just about us doing the work for you — it’s about partnership,” President of the Peabody Area Chamber Deanne Healey said. “By working together, we can create opportunities, drive growth, and open doors to success. While not every business is a member of the Chamber, every business benefits from the effort to build a strong, connected community.”
The Annual Dinner is a signature event for the business community, where local leaders gather to celebrate the achievements and contributions of area businesses. It’s a night for networking, making meaningful connections, and increasing visibility within the region’s vibrant business landscape. This gathering offers business professionals the opportunity to rub shoulders with fellow leaders, strengthen relationships, and collectively celebrate the Chamber’s ongoing work to promote a thriving local economy.
Tickets for the Annual Dinner, to be held at Spinelli’s Function Facility, are available at a discounted price until Oct. 18. For more information about the Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce, the Annual Dinner, or how to get involved, visit www.peabodychamber.com.
