JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Earlier this year it was learned that Becky Thatcher-Keller would be retiring after serving four years as Executive Director of the Jamestown Chamber of Commerce.

Business leaders, friends, and colleagues came out Tuesday to congratulate Thatcher-Keller and wish her well on her retirement.

“Thank you everyone for coming out,” Thatcher-Keller told the group. “I’m excited to retire to Linton with my husband and own some farm animals. I know the chamber is in good hands with Emily Bivens taking over the position.”

Bivens was announced as Thatcher-Keller’s successor earlier this month. She will take over the position effective September 4th.
