Chamber announces interim director
The Pine Bluff Regional Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors named Jennifer Kline as interim chamber director.
Kline has been the Chamber’s events and marketing manager since January. Before taking off some time to raise her three children, Kline previously worked at the Chamber/ Economic Development Alliance for Jefferson County six years. Her roles included director of communications/business retention and expansion.
The previous Chamber director, Ulanda Arnett, accepted a director’s position in Northwest Arkansas to be closer to her children, according to the Chamber newsletter.
Kline says she is excited to hit the ground running with this new challenge and looks forward to working with the local business community.
