New Membership Director Named For Geneva Chamber of Commerce

GENEVA, IL -- The Geneva Chamber of Commerce Member Services and Volunteer Coordinator Robyn Chione will take on a new role with the chamber as its Membership Director. She will start her new job on Feb. 1, according to a news release.

Chione was first hired by the chamber of commerce in February 2016 as the office manager. In September 2017 she moved into the role of Member Services & Volunteer Coordinator.

“I look forward to introducing new businesses to what the Geneva Chamber has to offer and to building strong relationships with our current members. I want to educate our members on the many resources Geneva Chamber offers, so they can better utilize what will benefit them and help their business grow,” Chione said.

In her new role, she will continue to be the point of contact regarding billing and as the Geneva Women in Business liaison.

The current Membership/Sponsorship Director Judy Carroll, after 16 years at Geneva Chamber, will be retiring on Feb. 1.

Beginning as Volunteer Coordinator, she became Membership Director shortly after and 11 years ago added Sponsorship Director to her plate. Both positions allowed Judy to further promote Geneva businesses to the crowds that come to Geneva for festivals every year.

“It’s fun to watch the city pull together to welcome the tens of thousands of visitors,” Carroll said. “This position has brought countless committees and projects where I was lucky enough to meet and work with the many people that make Geneva so great. By far, the best part of my job is getting to know those people who give their time and resources to make Geneva better.”

“We are so excited that Robyn has accepted the position of Membership Director. Her excitement and enthusiasm for our membership is contagious. We look forward to her new ideas which will only help us to enhance the membership experience. While we will miss Judy’s expertise and knowledge, we congratulate her and wish her well in her next adventure,” says Geneva Chamber President Paula Schmidt.
