CLINTON – DeWitt County Development Council (DCDC) accepted the resignation of long-time board president Kevin Myers during its May 23 executive board meeting, ending more than 10 years of service.
Myers first became involved in DeWitt County economic efforts in 2006 on a steering committee of local business leaders. He eventually took the reins of what would become the current DCDC organization in 2007.
“He’s been the face of economic development efforts in our county for a decade, so he will be missed,” said newly-elected DCDC board President Curt Homann. “Last year especially, he had to weather some tough storms to keep the organization moving forward, so now it’s up to us to keep the momentum going.”
Myers chose to retire, in an effort to focus more on his role as managing principal of Chastain & Associates, an engineering firm based in Decatur. Despite his departure, Myers said he will be an active participant for economic growth in the county.
Additionally, a new officer team was elected during the DCDC annual meeting. Scott Baum, president, Baum Chevrolet Buick, was elected vice president. Marian Brisard, executive director, Clinton Chamber of Commerce, maintained her role as secretary. Lance White, vice president State Bank of Lincoln, was elected treasurer.
DCDC also welcomed two new board members during the meeting: Jay Peterson of Peterson Insurance Services, Inc., and Josh Shofner, vice president, First National Bank.
