Chamber Hires New Membership Director:  Carlos Mercado

The Board is excited to bring aboard Carlos Mercado as our first Director of Membership Development.  Carlos, recently retired from J.P. Morgan Chase Bank after a career in international banking, has experience as a former President and CEO of the Greece Chamber of Commerce.  He is also deeply knowledgeable about the Brighton community. Carlos’ mission will be to build our Chamber in much the same manner as he did with enormous success in Greece: individualized attention and one-on-one contact with our members and area businesses.
