A key vacancy at the Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce has been filled. Next month, Tami Petsche will begin working as the director of economic development, and replace Mark Hunt who resigned to take a job with the Rock Island Housing Authority.
Petsche comes to the chamber from Dewitt where she served as executive director of the Dewitt Development Company from 2008 to 2012, and then continued in that same position after the company merged with the Dewitt chamber of commerce.
Prior to that she served as senior marketing manager for McGraw-Hill Higher Education in Dubuque.
She'll start her new job August 18th.
