In reflecting on the task ahead, Laehn said, “The chamber’s volunteer leadership team rotates on an annual basis while the chamber’s mission to foster business growth and success remains constant. I feel privileged to join the ranks of past chamber presidents; I’m inspired by their leadership and achievements and I hope to continue their progress.”
Ruder Ware has a long-standing commitment to our community, beginning with the philosophy of George Ruder, the firm’s founder. “Mr. Ruder felt that if we make our living here, it’s our responsibility to give back to our communities. John Laehn is the fourth chamber president since 1981 to serve from Ruder Ware. We’re honored that our own leaders are elected by their peers to serve in this important role,” stated G. Lane Ware, chairman of the board at Ruder Ware.
