Chamber of Commerce director resigns

Kate Gray, managing director for the Madison Chamber of Commerce, resigned from her position Tuesday, Nov. 30 at a chamber board meeting.

The news was announced publicly at the Dec. 2 Chamber luncheon at the Holiday Inn.

Board President Tim Knox said Gray stepped down from the position to seek other ventures.

“She had other opportunities that she wanted to pursue,” Knox said. “We hate to see her go.”

Knox will assume Gray’s position as acting director for the next few months and will be compensated for the position until a permanent director is found. He said he agreed to take the position with the mayor’s suggestion.

Once a new director is found, Knox said he will not return as the board president.
