Vancouver, WA – At the February 7th Battle Ground Chamber Recognition Banquet, Columbia Branch Manager Julie Bocanegra was installed as Chairman of the Board. In this new role, she will work with fellow officers, a board of directors and chamber staff to promote all aspects of Battle Ground’s business community.
Julie most recently served as the chamber’s secretary and prior to that, on the board of directors.
“This was an opportunity to really get involved in making Battle Ground a great place to work, live and play,” said Julie. “My main goals are to heighten community involvement and enhance economic development for businesses.”
Established in 1964, the Battle Ground Chamber serves 300 members. Annual events include the Recognition Banquet, Harvest Days and Golf Classic. Chamber members have numerous opportunities to volunteer and get involved in the community and with other businesses.
As president, Julie foresees the economy and completion of the access road to the I-5 interchange as the major issues facing Battle Ground during her two-year term. “The increased access from I-5 will not only benefit existing businesses, but also has the potential to bring new commercial interests and patrons into Battle Ground.”
A life-time Clark County resident with ties to the area, Julie has a definite appreciation of Battle Ground and hopes for its future success. “Even though the community has really grown in the past 10 years, it still has the small-town feel it always had. The people of Battle Ground are very communityoriented and really step up to the plate to volunteer. I’m excited to move forward and make a difference!”
