Ohlmann
The Orange Chamber of Commerce has announced that Liam Ohlmann will serve as its new executive director.
Ohlmann is concurrently serving as executive director for an Orange-based not-for-profit called the Connecticut Grounds Keepers Association.
Chamber President Ted Novicki said, “I personally believe Liam’s proven track record as an executive director of a not-for-profit will help the Orange Chamber of Commerce continue to build on its successes and benefit our businesses and community.”
“I love Orange and specifically its people,” Ohlmann said. “Some of my earliest memories were playing fall baseball at the Old Tavern Road sports complex, and I have a great appreciation for the wonderful businesses, golf and recreation this town has to offer. I am excited to collaborate with Orange’s businesses to work and grow together.”
Ohlmann was selected from a pool of candidates after former director Kathy Converse Charbonneau decided to step down earlier this summer. Converse Charbonneau has been credited with successfully navigating the chamber through the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I will continue to bring Kathy’s passion and dedication to this community and this role,” Ohlmann said of his predecessor in an email to the community. “The Board of Directors and I are working on building events and member benefits which will directly benefit Orange’s businesses and residents.”
