The Marshalltown Area Chamber of Commerce announced the hiring earlier this week of John Hall as the new President and CEO. Chamber Board President Joe Carter was on the search committee…and he is excited about what Hall will add to the Chamber and the community; experience in economic development, along with solid leadership traits.

Carter says while Hall is finishing up his duties in Ames, he is also working on his off-hours to prepare to slide into the Chamber positions in Marshalltown.
