As we enter a new year, it is with great pleasure that we also look back on the successes of 2012.

First of all, I’d like to thank the board members of the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce & Industry. Without their dedication none of our successes would be possible.

Thank you to Board President Todd Kinker of Golden Eagle Community Bank, Vice President Kathryn Loprino of Woodstock Public House, and Treasurer Tom Landers of Marian Central Catholic High School; directors Jennifer Baker-Grogg of Centegra Health System, Lisa Kelly of Woodstock Professional & Business Women, Jack Bechaud of The Social (net)Worker, Mark Peloquin of Leading I.T. Solutions, Jim Campion of Campion, Curran, Lamb, & Cunabaugh P.C., and Kathy Rauch of Family Health Partnership Clinic; and ex-officio members Cort Carlson of the city of Woodstock, Carol Smith of Woodstock Community School District 200, and Catherine Jones of McHenry County College.
