Berthoud Chamber Leadership

Janell Goad, Executive Director since 2006

I see the Berthoud Area Chamber of Commerce as a strong, healthy organization that provides a valuable service especially for the businesses involved. Part of what this position entails is supplying information from inquiries received from around the United States and some internationally. Visitors want to know where to visit, stay and eat while they are in the area vacationing or considering relocating. Many more calls from the local public asking for the same information and more. They want to know where to go in town and what Berthoud has to offer. People rely on Chambers of commerce throughout the United States for information about local communities. This is only one of the aspects of this highly faceted position. Berthoud is a small town with a "homey" feeling that is cherished by so many. Even as Berthoud grows and prospers, the feeling remains. Welcome!

Currently I am serving as the President of the Berthoud Area Chamber of Commerce.

My husband John and I enjoy being part of the Berthoud Community which has many wonderful businesses, I ask that you support all of them.
