Mindy Moyle has resigned from her position with the Holbrook Chamber of Commerce, handing board members her resignation letter during their March 8 meeting. Moyle has been serving as the interim executive director for less than a year and noted that she valued her time working with the chamber but that she had accepted a position with Holbrook School District.
Moyle noted that March 17 would be her last day with the chamber and recommended former executive director Billie Anne Miller as a replacement. The board will consider her recommendation and also advertise for the position within the next two weeks prior to making a decision.
During the meeting the board unanimously approved the budget for the upcoming Wild West Days in the amount of $13,100. President Yvonne Larson explained that last year’s event had $1,850 profit and projected this year’s profit to be around $2,000. In charge of Wild West Days entertainment will be former board member Cindy Tafoya.
Members of the board agreed to pitch in for a get-well-soon card in response to the recent home-invasion attack of former Navajo County Treasurer Manny Hernandez. SEI Realty, for which Larson is a realtor, will also provide a restaurant gift certificate to accompany the card.
