Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce terminates recent hire, Morris named as new CEO
Greater Vernon Parish Chamber of Commerce
The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce has announced that Mr. Sean Stockard was terminated in late December as its Chief Executive Officer, a position he held from November 2nd to December 24th. “After a series of unfortunate events, the Board of Directors lost confidence in Mr. Stockard’s abilities to perform the duties of the position for which he was hired.” said 2020-21 Chairman Logan Morris. The Chamber retained the services of Jorgensen Consulting, a premier Non-Profit Executive Recruiting Firm with 25 years of experience in that field, to identify and qualify candidates that aligned with the organization’s goals and mission. That process began in February of 2020, just two weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the nation and rest of the world. At its regular board meeting held January 15th, 2021 the Chamber board of directors voted to retain its Chairman, Logan O. Morris, as CEO to fill the vacant position. Mrs. Jamie Hood, who was hired as Office Manager under the previous CEO, will remain.
