Regarding your comments about the status of the Franklin Township Chamber of Commerce – the truth of the matter is that there were a lot of challenges during the last few years and I would be the first one to admit it. Although the chamber was quite active with frequent events and networking opportunities – we didn’t manage to capitalize on those and increase our membership; instead, we had a significant loss in our membership. We all bear the responsibility for this decline and not just the four individuals that received the criticism in your article. Needless to say, the president always bears the lion’s share of the responsibility.
To his credit – the former President of the Franklin Township Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Leon Hughes, wrote a letter to the newly elected board accepting responsibility and he states among others “I also wish to apologize to the Board members whose names and reputations have been clouded by this scandal. Julia West-Johnson, Tiffany Delaney, Peter Stavrianidis and Eva Nagy, I sincerely apologize”.
