The Cadiz-Trigg County Chamber of Commerce has added nearly a dozen new members in the past year despite a global pandemic.
The Chamber hosted its first in-person Lunch and Learn in over a year Thursday, drawing over 30 members to the Cadiz Renaissance Center.
Beth Sumner was named the chamber’s membership director in January. She highlighted the new members that were added in the past year which mostly included new businesses that had opened their doors for the first time.
She said directing prospective business owners in the right direction as they complete the early steps of getting their dream off the ground has been a rewarding part of the job.
