Third Chamber director in 3 years resigns
After one year with Colfax Area Chamber of Commerce executive director Brad Childs has resigned. He is the third ED to resign in as many years, with board citing fundraising as a key challenge and pay concerns. Childs will consult while turning to his two businesses Wilderness Institute and a new executive coaching venture. The city provides modest support, and membership dues remain slow, jeopardizing stable staffing.
