Please join us in congratulating Bridget O’Connor, community engagement officer for Red Canoe Credit Union, who is the new chair of the Covington Chamber board. Bridget served as chair-elect in 2022, and when chair Cass Laney stepped down, Bridget graciously accepted the chair position, per Covington Chamber bylaws.
