Gregory, Winstead Move Into New Roles With Chamber

TUSCALOOSA, AL — The Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama on Wednesday announced two key changes to its professional staff.

Executive Assistant and Special Events Coordinator Alicia Gregory will now transition to the role of Director of Membership Engagement, where she will be responsible for all membership events. She will also coordinate numerous Chamber committees and affiliate groups, and will manage the Chamber's leadership development programs.

Tanya Winstead will become the Chamber’s Director of Membership and Resource Development, where she will lead all membership recruitment efforts and resource development campaigns.

The Chamber said Winstead currently serves as Community Outreach and Events Officer for Alabama ONE and has a long history of active involvement with the Chamber, including serving as chair of the Ambassador program. She was also a top volunteer producer in the Chamber's 4th Quarter Drive sponsorship campaign.

“We are proud to see Alicia step into this new role and are excited to welcome Tanya to the Chamber team,” said Chamber President and CEO Jim Page, before thanking two Chamber employees as they relocate for other opportunities with their families. “They are both extremely knowledgeable about Chamber operations and programming, so this will be a seamless transition. I have no doubt they will build upon the great work done by Jill [McDonald] and Kimberly [Adams] in helping take the Chamber to the next level.”
