The Board of Directors of the Camden Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that Cindy Green has been named the new executive director of the Chamber. As the new Executive Director, Cindy will be focused on the three primary functions the Chamber strives to achieve: acting as spokesperson for the business and professional community translating into action the group thinking of its members; rendering specific services of a type that can be most effectively provided by a community organization both to its members and to the community as a whole; and serving as a driving force for recruiting business and industry to the area and aiding in the expansion of existing business and industry. Cindy will focus on economic, educational, and recreational growth benefitting small family businesses to high-technology industries located in Ouachita and Calhoun Counties.
A proud third generation Camdenite, Cindy is the daughter of Bobby Green and the late Regina Jennings Green and sister of Cathey Green Roberts and Charles Green. She graduated from Camden Fairview High School then continued her education at Southern Arkansas University where she received a Bachelor of Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing.
After a multi-faceted career encompassing a variety of cultures both domestically and internationally, Cindy returned home to Camden during the pandemic. She most recently was a recruiter for SAU Tech, Camden's hometown University, guiding potential students toward a path of academic and vocational preparation for successful careers involving applied science and modern technology within the community.
Cindy believes this is the optimal time for the Chamber to focus on research and strategic planning designed to benefit the entire community through both expanded and new economic opportunities, educational programming to prepare our future workforce, and exciting recreational experiences that make Camden a unique and desirable hometown, as well as a destination for visitors. Cindy's conviction is that a great place to live is a great place to visit. She believes involving people in the conversation is crucial for them to feel they've been heard and are an important part of the process to drive our community forward. Green is honored to join the Chamber's Board of Directors in their work to align with residents, businesses, industries, and government to make Camden and the surrounding areas an even greater place for residents to live, work and raise their families.
