Due to out-of-state family commitments and responsibilities, Vickie Maples reluctantly submitted her notice of resignation as executive director to the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce during the regular monthly board of directors meeting on Feb. 10.

Maples voiced her complete support for the chamber members, the board of directors, chamber staff and volunteers, indicating that she has thoroughly enjoyed working with them over the past 2½ years.

Maples noted that it is with reluctance that she must resign but at this time it is important for her to be more accessible to her family and to attend to family business responsibilities in the coming months.

The board accepted Maples’ resignation, thanking her for her efforts and dedication to the chamber.

Maples’ resignation will become effective April 15 and she will work diligently with the board to recruit and fill the executive director’s position prior to that time.
