Welcome, thank you for visiting the Kirksville Area Chamber of Commerce website. As Executive Director, I oversee the daily operations of the Chamber and our small staff. It's a pleasure to work with business owners and employees in our community and I enjoy getting to know them and their products and services. I appreciate the opportunity to refer them to others and to be a source of information to help their businesses grow and be successful. I am a life long resident of northeast Missouri. I grew up in Novinger, MO and graduated from Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman State University) in 1980 with a BSE in Vocational Home Economics. I worked for nearly 20 years in the healthcare field, holding various positions at Northeast Regional Medical Center, Laughlin Pavilion and Adair County Health Dept. In 2002, I received a Masters in Business Administration from William Woods University.
My journey with the Chamber began in January 2007 when I took the position of office manager. I was promoted to Executive Director in October 2009, following the resignation of the former director. Although I reside in Greentop, MO with my husband, John Williams, I consider Kirksville my home community- a place where I work, play and enjoy our many resources.

Kelly Jones joined the Kirksville Area Chamber of
Commerce in March of 2013. Kelly is a graduate of Kirksville R-III High School and chose to raise her family here. Kelly began working as a receptionist, but her enthusiasm and attention to detail soon led to her promotion to Services Coordinator. She handles the membership database and accounts receivable. She coordinates both the paper and electronic newsletters and never misses a deadline. Kelly is a great multi-tasker, often found juggling details of several events as well as her daily duties.
