It is with much sorrow that the Brownwood Area Chamber of Commerce announces after three years as Executive Director and fourteen total years of service to the Brownwood Area Chamber, June 2 will be the Executive Director, Sunni Modawell’s last day.

Under Sunni’s leadership, the Brownwood Area Chamber of Commerce has seen an increase in membership from 509 to 551. The Total Resource Campaign has almost doubled from approximately $82,000 in 2019, to $154,000 in 2021, – an increase of 88%.

Starting June 3, Membership Director Kim Springfield and Communications Director Kandice Harris will begin serving as Interim Co-Directors.  The Chamber’s Board of Directors has appointed a hiring committee who is tasked with finding a new permanent leader for the Chamber, and are currently accepting applications.

The team that is currently in place will continue to build upon their successes, and forge ahead to ensure the chamber remains the best collaborator, advocate, and educator for its members and community.

“I am extremely proud of the teamwork that has led to the accomplishments and successes we have seen over the last several years, particularly 2020-2021.  It has been a privilege to work with such wonderful people throughout my time with the Chamber.” Modawell states.

The Chamber staff will be hosting a reception for Sunni on Tuesday, June 1 from 3:30-5:00 PM at the Chamber.  The Community is invited to stop by and wish her well.
