Tina Solak Johns, Executive Director of the Cameron County Chamber of Commerce and news broadcaster for Salter Communications, spoke at the Rotary luncheon October 26th. Tina has held the chamber position for approximately 13 years and has been broadcasting local for approximately 16 years.

 Some background on our active director prior to coming to Emporium includes Tina holding a position at Lycoming College where she was head of the mail room. Tina attended college in Pittsburgh at Point Park where she majored in broadcasting. This education led her to television broadcasting in Scranton, PA, as well as working for a radio station in Williamsport. Among her commendable achievements were interviewing past presidents as well as Mother Theresa. Tina loves Cameron County and what she enjoys most is the quaintness which reminds her of her hometown, the fire whistle, bingo, little shops and lack of traffic. She is proud of how the chamber has grown along with events every year. 

 Tina gave some updates on all the activities and new businesses opening soon throughout the town such as Powdertown Mercantile Store, CDH Designs has purchased a new building, Cameron County Nutrition coming soon, former library opening up as a medical office, Drug & Alcohol has purchased the chamber building and expanding offices. Tina hopes everyone comes out December 3rd to watch the Christmas Parade with 20 floats this year. Also pictured is Rotarian, Sue Bucher (right).
