RADFORD – The Radford Chamber Board of Directors has named Dan McKinney, who has served on the chamber’s board for nearly 10 years, to lead the chamber as its new executive director.
Chamber Board President Abram Williams announced Friday that McKinney has accepted the position of executive director and began his new role last week.
“Many of you may already know Dan as he has served on the Radford Chamber Board for nearly 10 years, including both the treasurer and president roles,” the chamber’s announcement reads. “Dan brings a wealth of experience with him, and he is excited to begin leading the chamber.”
McKinney replaces Ciara Harris as executive director. Harris recently became executive director of the Friends of Claytor Lake, a conservation group that spearheads lake debris clean-up; creates fish habitat structures; and conducts mussel salvage efforts, water quality monitoring, and lake events. She had been executive director of the chamber for two years.
McKinney has a background in business management and marketing, as well as sales and customer service experience. He is a Radford University graduate with a business administration degree.
