(Nacogdoches, TX – Jan. 31, 2024) The Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce announced staff member Shari Williams’ promotion to Vice President/Member Engagement. Ms. Williams has worked at the chamber for 5 1/2 years, hired initially as Membership Coordinator.

“In this position, Ms. Williams will have more responsibilities that include developing and implementing strategies to promote chamber members, managing the chamber’s retention program and developing materials for new member recruitment,” said President/CEO Kelly Augustine. “She will also work closely with members as they choose program and event sponsorships and volunteer participation for the best returns on their investments.”
