Midway Chamber names Chad Kulas executive director

The Midway Chamber of Commerce has announced that Chad Kulas has been hired to be its new Executive Director.  Kulas was selected from a competitive pool of candidates after an extensive search process.  He will fill the vacancy created by Kari Canfield’s departure in April.

“We are extremely pleased to be able to bring Chad on as our new Executive Director,” said Dan Leggett, Chairperson for the Midway Chamber’s Board of Directors. “Chad brings with him a strong connection to this community as well as the knowledge, creativity and experience that will help the Chamber and its members continue to grow during this time of change for the Midway area and local businesses.”

Kulas brings more than 10 years of experience to the Midway Chamber of Commerce, having worked closely with local organizations and businesses, advising and managing government relation’s teams, as well as providing event coordination and public relations services.

His experience working for the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce, the City of Saint Paul and most recently holding the position of Public Affairs Manager for a local management consultation firm specializing in Chambers has let him see the Chamber world from various different perspectives.

“I am excited to have the chance to help lead this great organization at such an important time,” said Kulas. “The Midway Chamber represents what is really the heart of our metro area and there are great opportunities to build on its recent success and make this an even stronger and more active organization.”
