The Crawfordsville-Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce announced Thursday the appointment of a new executive director.
Cassie Hagan will begin serving in that position effective Dec. 2.
She comes to the Chamber after six-and-a-half years at Wabash College as associate director of Career Services. She is a Montgomery County native with a bachelor of fine arts in photography from Ball State University.
Hagan is an engaged community member and currently serves as president for the Montgomery County Leadership Academy and a board member for the Montgomery County Educational Foundation.
She looks forward to working toward “advancing a vibrant business community” in Crawfordsville and Montgomery County.
Charlie Warren will continue in the role of interim executive director until Dec. 2. He took over in early October after police opened an investigation into allegations of misconduct involving a Chamber employee. That employee has since been suspended. No other information on the investigation has been released.
At the time the police investigation was opened, the Chamber was in the process of searching for a new executive director. Its previous executive director, Rick Hernandez, resigned in August to pursue another career opportunity.
“We want to thank all of our members and community partners for their support during this transitional period,” said Phil Littell, president of the Chamber board of directors.
