Huntington Beach, a seaside city of
200,000 in Orange County,
California, enjoys a strong business
community with major employers such
as Boeing. A four-year
Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce
staff member, Pam Wilkinson, took a
new position in 2007 as CEO of
American Canyon Chamber of Commerce.
The fast-growing city in Napa County
and Napa Valley where some of the
world's award-winning wines are
crafted and bottled, is eager to
move to a smaller area that's set to
grow.
Pam Wilkinson, 49, was named the new
president and chief executive
officer of the American Canyon
Chamber of Commerce, replacing Dale
Osmond, who retired in 2007.
Leaving her position as senior vice
president of the Huntington Beach
Chamber of Commerce, she has worked
with nonprofit groups extensively
but said she found her niche when
she took a job in Huntington Beach.
Immersed in the business environment
and programs to develop business
strength and viability in local
communities, Wilkinson said,
"American Canyon is a growing
community, and it's a beautiful
place."
Wilkinson's new position: April 9,
2007
