Rosemary Buerger
Executive Director

Rosemary has always had an entrepreneurial spirit starting her first business at the age of 12. A lifelong learner, military child, and wife led her to many different experiences. She uses those experiences to manage the day-to-day operations of the chamber today. Her background includes many years as a paralegal and a Realtor in North Carolina. Those experiences help her to be mindful that business is always about the relationships you build. 

Her philosophy in assisting the members is to keep an open line of communication, listen more, and always work to reach the greater goal of the member when possible.
