The Champaign County Chamber of Commerce welcomed St. Paris resident Susie Koennecke as the chamber’s new administrative coordinator.

She has experience in social media and said she looks forward to using this experience to connect the chamber to the community. She is a member of the St. Paris Lions Club and recently participated in the Bad Art by Good People.

Koennecke moved to the area last spring with her husband, Kirk, after he was named superintendent of Graham Local Schools.

“Susie has a vibrant personality and a strong desire to get to know the community,” said Lydia Hess, executive director of the chamber. “I look forward to working with her to further the goals of Champaign County businesses and community members.”
