In a meeting of Clarion Chamber members last week, the group voted on resolutions that move them closer to merging with Clarion Economic Development to form the Clarion Development Alliance (CDA).
The two resolutions passed included the following- 1) Adoption of resolutions of the Agreement to Combine Entities and for Disposition of Assets and Liabilities to Combined Entity and Article of Merger. 2) Adoption of a resolution dissolving the Clarion Chamber and Development.
To pass the measures, the majority of Chamber members had to vote on them. Between about 20 members attending the Zoom meeting and several voting by proxy, a majority was reached.
The overall goal of the new organization is to create a robust group that will help Clarion grow. Elizabeth McOllough, Chamber board member, added, “The CDA will have shared goals that will help us work toward the betterment of Clarion. If we combine and work under the same umbrella, we’ll also be more efficient.”
With the Chamber now effectively dissolved, a new board will move forward on other provisions such as bylaws and articles of incorporation for the CDA. Eventually committees will also be formed such as housing, events and Clarion pride.
