Carol Young diligently worked at the Richmond Chamber of Commerce for 25 years, from 1991- 2016. Carol began her career at the Chamber running the front desk and ended her tenure at the top, as the Executive Director of the organization. In between those two roles, Carol liked to joke that she did every job possible… with the exception of book keeping.
