L to R: Scott with longtime Chamber volunteer Gil Leslie (2019), with Maine Governor Janet Mills at the Governor’s Conference on Tourism (2023), with Santa at Holiday on the Harbor (2024), and the Glenmoor For Fun Sake Charity Pickleball Tournament (2023).

I want to share that Scott Smith, who has been part of the Chamber team for the past six years, will be moving on from his role. Six years is a significant tenure—well above the average for many professional positions—and we are grateful for the time, energy, and commitment Scott has given to our members and our mission. We wish Scott all the best in his future endeavors and thank him for his contributions to the Chamber during his time with us.
