From Sarah Trustem, Executive Director, Dickinson Area Chamber Of Commerce

It is with a heavy heart that I have tendered my resignation as the Executive Director of the Dickinson Area Chamber of Commerce to pursue a new position with the Dickinson Public Schools as their Community Relations Coordinator. Despite how passionate I am about this organization and my role here, I have been given an opportunity to help the district build positive relations with students, employees, and the community.

It has been an honor to serve the Chamber and its members, and I feel fortunate to have been given the chance to lead this amazing organization. The decision for my transition was not an easy one as I am extremely proud of everything we have done during my tenure. We truly have an incredible team with Megan Klassen and Christina Jorgensen, and I have no doubt that I am leaving the organization in capable hands. Our strong success would not be possible without the support of volunteers, staff, and the Board of Directors.

I have no doubt that the Chamber will continue to thrive, and I look forward to a continued partnership in the future.
