Important Staff Update: Wishing Jodi Krantz Well

Chamber members,

I want to share with you an important development within our Chamber of Commerce staff.

It is with mixed emotions that I announce the resignation of Jodi Krantz who has been a valuable part of our team as the Vice President of Economic Development. Jodi has decided to step down from her position due to pressing medical issues that require her full attention and focus.

During her tenure with us and her 16 years of doing economic development in Independence, Jodi has shown exceptional dedication, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to the mission of enhancing and growing our community. Her contributions have significantly impacted our organization and Independence as a whole.  She has put her stamp on so many great things like the development of the Ennovation Center,  Winefest, Living Windows, and others too numerous to mention.   Her presence will be deeply missed by colleagues and members alike.

While we are saddened by her departure, we fully support Jodi’s decision to prioritize her health and well-being. We are grateful for her hard work and the positive influence she has had on our organization.

We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition during this period. Our team is working diligently to manage Jodi’s responsibilities and continue providing the high level of service and support that our members expect and deserve.

Please join me in extending our heartfelt thanks to Jodi for her invaluable service and wishing her a swift and complete recovery. She will continue to need our support and encouragement so feel free to reach out to her with your positive thoughts.  You can email her at jodi.krantz@yahoo.com.

If you have any questions or require further information, do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Tom Lesnak
President
