Tim
O'Donoghue, the Executive Director of the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce, has
announced his intentions to resign from his position. After more than seven
years of service, most as Executive Director, he intends to continue to be
active in the Jackson Hole community and Northern Rockies region.
"I feel
truly blessed by the opportunities that I have been given to work with a
wonderful staff, productive Board of Directors, and community-oriented
businesses. I will continue to contribute to our community through other
avenues while spending more time with my family and enjoying this truly
beautiful place we live in," said O'Donoghue.
Under his
leadership, the Chamber has strengthened its role as the voice of business in
Teton County and become one of the largest membership organizations in the
community. During his tenure, Tim led the Chamber into a solid financial
position, new strategically located offices on the Town Square, the successful
campaign to pass the Lodging Tax, a four-star accreditation and
nationally-recognized Chamber of Commerce in the highest two percent of U.S.
Chambers of Commerce, record levels of membership, and most recently,
world-wide recognition for Teton County as one of the top sustainable tourism
destinations.
The
Chamber's Board of Directors as well as business members of the Chamber
consider Tim to be a dedicated, hard-working professional committed to his
staff and the Chamber's mission of championing the interests of local
businesses, enhancing their prosperity, and strengthening the economic climate
of Teton County.
Kevin Olson,
Chair of the Chamber's Board of Directors, said "Tim is a community leader
highly regarded for his integrity, drive, and perseverance. His leadership will
be missed, yet the mission of the Chamber marches on. On behalf of our Board
and members, we're grateful for Tim's efforts over the years."
The Chamber
will conduct its search for Tim's replacement through a Search Committee led by
Kevin Olson and Board Chair-Elect Jim Waldrop. In the meantime, Tim will
continue to serve as the Chamber's Executive Director through the summer.
