Meet Kingston Chamber's New Director

 

Kingston North Kitsap Rotarian Nancy Martin introduced Miacate Kennedy at the KNK Rotary meeting October 9.  Kennedy, the new Executive Director at Kingston Chamber of Commerce, was, in fact, hired when Nancy Martin was President of the Chamber’s Board. 

Kennedy, moved here from Spokane, where she graduated college and went on to a career mentoring businesses and consulting in IT.  Along the way she worked extensively with Microsoft products.  After vowing to cut her $200 monthly cable bill, she cut the cord and began reading business books.  Hundreds of them.  She has been a writer and media consultant for several large companies.  She moved to Kingston with this background ideally suited for her Chamber duties, and to be closer to her mother, who lives at Village Green.  Although she has only been on the job 30-days, things that stand out about Kingston: Village Green, Stillwaters, the Point, Port Gamble, Downpour.  “Kingston is amazing,” according to Kennedy.  Her biggest goal is to make the Chamber a strategic partner.
