The Board of Directors of Chamber630 is pleased to name Beth Goncher as the new President and CEO of Chamber630.

Chairman, Karyn Charvat said, “The board is thrilled to welcome Beth to Chamber630. She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the chamber and her advocacy work aligns with our needs. We are very much looking forward to her leadership as we forge ahead in this new chapter of the organization.”

Goncher, most recently the Director of Government Affairs for the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce, arrives following the retirement of long-time Chamber630 leader Laura Crawford.

“It’s an honor to be coming on board Chamber630, said Goncher. “Outgoing President Laura Crawford built a strong foundation and really set the bar for excellence. While I recognize I have big shoes to fill, I’m energized by the team, the Board of Directors, the Membership and the communities. We will do great things together.”

A graduate of Dominican University in River Forest, Goncher brings over 22 years of experience working at the local, state, and federal levels of government. Goncher is also civic-minded, having served on the board of directors for several local organizations. She currently serves on the board for United Way of Metro Chicago.
