As part of the transaction, the Southpointe Chamber will merge its organization as well as assets such as Southpointe Magazine publication rights, member lists, email newsletter data, logos, website URLs, and events into the Washington County Chamber of Commerce. This merger combines the strengths of both organizations to enhance networking, resources, and opportunities for members in both organizations.

“This is a concept that has been developing since the inception of the chamber in 1994,” said Don Hodor, Executive Director of the Southpointe Chamber of Commerce. “This merger of both organizations will provide access to a wider range of resources for all chamber members. This unified effort will make the Washington County Chamber of Commerce the most effective networking organization in the region. We are 100 percent supportive of the transaction and can only see a positive ‘win-win’ for all involved, especially our members.”

Jeff Kotula, President of the Washington County Chamber of Commerce thanked Mr. Hodor for his leadership in utilizing the Southpointe Chamber to fully focus on the development of Southpointe Business Park. “For over 30 years, the Southpointe Chamber of Commerce under Don Hodor’s leadership has fostered an environment for expansion in one of Pennsylvania’s leading multi-use parks-Southpointe. The merger of the Southpointe Chamber into ours will be the cornerstone of a renewed focus on the park and its business community. We hope to continue Don’s vision and achieve new opportunities for Washington County,” commented Kotula.
