Letter From NEW Director
From: Ann Marie Dunn, Executive Director
Hello! I am thrilled to be your Executive Director for the Sandwich Area Chamber of Commerce. The outpouring of support in my first few weeks has been amazing and I can’t thank you all enough. It has been fun getting to know the business community and the locals alike. I already feel like part of the Sandwich family and are honored to be a part of such a close-knit and active chamber.
Small towns are near and dear to my heart as I grew up in a small town for a portion of my childhood. In my opinion, the “family feel” a smaller town offers are like a big daily hug every time you step outside. Before serving as your Executive Director, I had been visiting Sandwich for many years to shop the antiques which are hands down the best in the state! My professional background has a mix of event planning, marketing, and sales and I am excited to bring my knowledge and creative view to the chamber and to the Sandwich community. Currently, I reside in DeKalb with my husband and son and are an avid golfer & cook.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
