The Mon Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce announced that James Protin will serve as the organization's President for 2015.

The MVRCC Board of Directors officially voted Protin, who serves on the Executive Committee, to the position at their January meeting. Armand Ferrara, Jr., who has served as the organization's President since 1997, will remain as an at-large executive committee member.

Over the 17 years of leadership, among the most notable was the transition in 2001 to a regional format for the Chamber and the acquisition of Chamber Plaza in 2003. "Armand has guided us through some challenging times," said Deb Keefer, Chamber Director. "His expertise and humor has kept us grounded on countless occasions."

"These are big shoes to fill," said Protin, "I will be certainly calling on Armand for his insight and expertise on a regular basis."

Additionally, Angela Stay of Northwest Savings Bank was appointed to the Director's Class of 2016 to replace Erin Sakalik, who resigned late last year. Lori Spina's resignation was regretfully accepted, and her outstanding work and dedication to the Chamber was noted.
