New leadership at the Elgin Chamber of Commerce looks to nurture t he cit y ’s c ont i nued growth and maintain its small-town identity with a diverse background in public service.
Heather Bloom began her tenure as chamber president earlier this month, bringing with her decades of experience in nonprofit management, international development and historic preservation. Originally from Ohio, Bloom’s work has taken her throughout Central Texas and as far as Paraguay, but she said it’s Elgin’s strong sense of community that drew her here.
“I’ve had such a well welcoming to Elgin that it’s really helped me have a sense of belonging,” Bloom said. “I love that everybody knows one another, they’re there to help and support their neighbors. I feel that community is when people are showing up.”
