🎉 Please join us in welcoming Josh Marks as the new Executive Director of the Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce!

A Leeds native whose family has called this community home for generations, Josh brings experience in sales, marketing, membership development, relationship building and business networking to his new role.

And for Josh, this opportunity is personal. ❤️

“I'm a Leeds native. My family has called this place home for generations. Behind Mama and God, there was the Greenwave. From grabbing ice cream at Spruiell's after school to learning how to ride a bike inside the old fire station #1, I couldn't ask for better memories or a better place to create them.”

Josh says it is now his honor to serve and assist the local businesses that help make Leeds the community it is.

We are excited about this new chapter for the Leeds Area Chamber and look forward to working alongside Josh as we continue supporting our members and strengthening our business community.

Welcome, Josh! We’re glad to have you leading the way! 💚

Thank you to Ron Whitehead, board treasurer for Leeds Outreach, for joining us at
this week’s Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon to share about the important work this organization is doing in our community!

Founded in 1994, Leeds Outreach is a volunteer-run Christian nonprofit serving Leeds families through food assistance, help with utility expenses, school supplies, scholarships, Christmas for Kids and other programs designed to meet needs and offer hope.

Ron shared some impressive numbers that show just how far that impact reaches. So far this year, Leeds Outreach has provided more than 2,700 food distributions, and last year the organization helped provide school supplies for 146 children and Christmas assistance for more than 200 children. Through the generosity of local churches, businesses, organizations and individuals—and the dedication of more than 40 volunteers—Leeds Outreach continues to make a tremendous difference in our community.

We are grateful to Ron for sharing the Leeds Outreach story with us and to Beverly, who has faithfully served the organization for many years, for the work she and the entire Leeds Outreach team do for our neighbors.

The Chamber also announced the winners of this year’s Small Business Awards during today’s luncheon. (See our separate post for the winners and more about this year’s awards.)

Special thanks also go to the ladies of Leeds First Methodist Church for serving our meal, Rusty's Bar-B-Q for catering today’s lunch, and Leeds First Methodist Church for hosting our luncheon. We also extend our sincere appreciation to our sponsor, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama ()
