Boyce ".m first
exec. director of
Millsboro chamber
Joan M. Boyce has recently
been appointed as the first-ever
executive director of the Greater
Millsboro Chamber of Com-
merce, according to President
Hank McCann, who also noted
that the chamber office has moved
to new quarters in the Village
Green complex, Rt. 24, just east of
town.
Both of these changes are in-
dicative of the rebirth of business
activity in Millsboro, McCann
noted, with new businesses open-
ing and chamber membership on
the rise.
The chamber's board of direc-
tors is committed to Millsboro's
future growth, and the appoint-
ment of a full-time executive di-
rector is an essential part of the
growth. "We were gratified that
one of own board members was a
highly qualified candidate for the
position. She has a strong media
background, lives in the Millsboro
area and owns a business here. We
heartily welcome her,' McCann
said.
Boyce, formerly advertising
manager for the Sussex Countian
and general manager of several
other local newspapers, owns the
,JOAN bl. BOYCE
Village Green Paperback Ex-
change. She is also a part-time be-
reavement counselor for Delaware
Hospice, Inc. and holds a graduate
degree from New York University
and has many business contacts
throughout Sussex.
"Millsboro is my home town. I
have chosen to live here for many
years and I believe the town has a
very bright future. I pledge to do
everything I can to help make that
future reality," Boyce said.
Millsboro has an ideal central
location with many available re-
sources, McCann and Boyce
pointed out. New promotional
brochures about Millsboro, and
community events, in addition to
the chamber's annual Big Thurs-
day celebration, will be created.
