Hear from Tom Baldrige, outgoing President & CEO of the Lancaster Chamber, as he reflects on his career journey, offers advice for emerging leaders in Lancaster County, and looks ahead at a new season of retirement. Tom retires from the Chamber on June 24, 2022 after 22 years of service to the Lancaster community. We thank Tom for his guidance, vision, and leadership of the Lancaster Chamber!

Note: We recorded this episode prior to the selection of Heather Valudes, the Chamber's Vice President, as the incoming President & CEO. We regret the timing of this recording, as we did not have the opportunity to acknowledge Heather's new role and discuss Tom's excitement about how her leadership will carry the Chamber into the future.
