Dave is a Rotarian from the Lewisburg Sunrise Club.  He shared a bit about his background (30 years in the Air Force, retiring in ’00, and previous years of Chamber work) and a bit about the priorities and concerns of the GSVCC.  Economic development is an important part of the Chambers work (by-pass, KIZ’s, light industrial park, Retail Park).
