Reading-North Reading Chamber Leadership Officially Changes Hands

READING, MA — Leadership of the Reading-North Reading Chamber of Commerce officially changed hands last week when new President Catherine Barton Rossetti received the official gavel from former President Jenniffer Rogers, the chamber announced.

The gavel exchange took place at a post-holiday Board of Directors party at The Charles in Reading. The president serves a one-year term.

Barton Rossetti is a state planning attorney who has been involved with the chamber in various capacities for many years.

Rogers, meanwhile, works at Leader Bank and owns Dracut Window and Door with her husband.

According to Lisa Egan, executive director of the chamber, Rogers helped launch the organization's first Winterfest and helped support local businesses in both Reading and North Reading during her year in charge.

"The chamber was fortunate to have Jenniffer at the helm over 2022, which was a very successful year for the chamber and our community," Egan told Patch. "Our in-person events were very well attended as folks were particularly excited to see people and connect. Jenn has great energy and is a tireless volunteer for our members and for the Town of Reading."

Egan added: "(Barton Rossetti) will do a great job and is also a Reading resident and Reading business owner."
