The Chamber of Commerce in the city of Lauderhill, Florida, has a new president. Jamaican Karrelle Chang was installed as President at a ceremony at the Chateau Mar Golf Resort in the South Florida city. Chang is an entrepreneur and the owner of Vintage Events.

Change also served in the role of president of the Lauderhill Kiwanis Club for four years and comes to her new post with many aspirations. She plans to keep the focus chiefly on bringing additional resources to Lauderhill businesses through enhancing the Chamber’s visibility. Chang has also stated she will continue the Chamber’s commitment to working with the city to determine which issues faced by businesses are most significant and to implement the policies and plans that will most effectively address those critical issues. Chang’s other plans for the Chamber include the creation of meaningful partnerships designed to uplift membership via networking forums and signature events.

I look forward to serving the Lauderhill Chamber to the best of my abilities and to the community Lauderhill, which it serves. I ask that you keep myself and team in your prayers as we move forward together. Many blessings to you all. K.C.”
