Ken Anderson set to retire

-

the Chamber and to the many and varied organizations that have called on him for guidance and support over these past 20 years. His insight, energy and enthusiasm will be missed and he will be hard to replace. I wish him a long, healthy and happy retirement. -Rex J. Ryden; Carwright, Druker & Ryden (Fisher Community Center Board of Trustees Chair)

When I think of all the thing different initiatives the chamber has been be-hind throughout the years from the Business-Education alliance to Clean-ing up Marshalltown I remember Ken as the person working behind the scenes making sure it gets done. Ken truly works for Marshalltown, he will be missed.-Ric Anderson; Hy-Vee (Board Chair 2008/2009)

On behalf of the Board and everyone at the Chamber, I would like to thank Ken not only for his leadership over the last several years as the President/

CEO, but also for the dedication and commitment he has given to the Chamber and the Marshalltown area. He’s been a driving force behind many community and economic development initiatives and he’ll be missed greatly.-Deb Borton; Central Iowa Power Cooperative (Board Chair 2012/2013)

committee of the Chamber was having a toxic waste cleanup day and what better place to put the new head of the Chamber but in the dump pit for all the paint that was coming in. By the end of the day Ken was covered head to foot with paint and I always kidded him in his moustache days that he never got all the paint washed out with the gray highlights that were showing through. I must have really upset him because he just shaved it

quitting right there we had a winner that would lead us through both the good times and the bad.-Jay Merryman; Wells Fargo Investments (Board Chair 2003/2004)

Best of luck Ken! You will be missed!

Thank youAs I bring my 30-plus year chamber career to a close with the last 19

years as President of the Marshalltown Area Chamber of Commerce, I want to say thank you for the tremendous support I have received. I didn’t plan to stay 19 years, but in hindsight I am very glad I did. Marshalltown, Iowa, is an outstanding community. What makes this place

importantly it is outstanding because of the way it has dealt with its issues. I would argue that there is no other community of our size in Iowa that has

have thrived. Our success has happened because of committed volunteers and elect-ed leaders who have stepped up to the challenges. This success is about

success is also about identifying the issues, and being willing to take on the challenges these issues present. It is about a belief in the future by do-ing what is necessary in the present to reach the vision that creates a place where people are proud of the place they call home. I have always believed in the statement “the future is bright, but

success. However, this community cannot rest on its laurels or be over-whelmed by whatever challenges may come. It is all about leadership,

attributes are in place for a bright future. I feel very blessed to have had this opportunity. Thank you!
