The Board of Directors at the Mashpee Chamber of Commerce has recently hired Katy Acheson as its Executive Director. Former Executive Director, Mary Lou Palumbo, retired at the end of 2020 and Katy has been the Acting Director since that time. At its most recent Board Meeting, Katy was overwhelmingly accepted into this full-time role.

“Over the many years that Katy has worked with the Chamber, she has shown incredible initiative, skill, and leadership. During this past year, Katy was the driving force for the Chamber to sustain itself and successfully face the challenges presented by Covid 19.  I am confident that Katy possesses the talent needed for the Chamber to continue to fulfill its mission in the years to come,” said Board President, Linda Steele.

Katy has worked for Cape Cod owned businesses since she was 14 years old. She attended Cape Cod Community College and UMass Amherst earning her Bachelor’s in English Literature, and holds a Master’s in Professional Writing from UMass Dartmouth. Katy has been working for the Mashpee Chamber of Commerce since October 2013 and takes great pride in helping local businesses succeed.

The entire Mashpee Chamber Board of Directors welcomes Katy into this position and wish her the very best in serving the business community of Mashpee.
