Posted by Paula Scott on Monday, January 31, 2022

Deb Curlis will step down from her position as the director of the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce at the end of February 2022. The Icon asked her for fifteen minutes to review her work with the chamber. 

Were you a chamber member before you became director?

I was the chamber representative for Community Health Professionals. When I first came to Ada to work, Matt Brown was the chamber president. He got me involved as a board member. Shortly after that, he took a job in Bellefontaine and I took over as president to finish out his term. I was re-elected and served five years as president.
