Hatcher, who graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Advertising and Sales from Central Michigan University, has grown up in Marine City and worked at The Sweet Tooth for seven years, giving her first-hand knowledge of business in the area. Last fall, The Sweet Tooth owner and Chamber board member, Todd May involved Kyla in the city\u2019s signature \u201cMerrytime Christmas\u201d festivities where Hatcher got a taste of working with downtown businesses through the Chamber on events. In her new role, Kyla said she is \u201cexcited to make changes and have a say in events while representing the \u2018younger generation.\u2019\u201d She said the big focus now, though, is the Chamber\u2019s \u201cLlama Races\u201d in partnership with the Washington Life Center and a golf outing in May. With that, she said she wants to \u201ctalk to the community and understand what they would like to see next.\u201d Former Executive Director Erika DeLange announced her resignation in mid-January after four years in the position. Kyla said following DeLange that she \u201chas big shoes to fill. She has done wonderful things for the city and area. She really rebranded the Chamber as a whole and increased the value of membership substantially.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
