Penze Becomes President of Niles Chamber of Commerce

At the Niles Chamber of Commerce & Industry's Leadership Luncheon Nov. 21, President Barbara Kruser of the Niles Public Library turned the gavel over to Joseph Penze, a deputy chief of the Niles Police Department.

The Chamber's new board was also sworn in. It includes:

• First Vice President Krystyna Koda, Ridgewood Gardens Florist
• Second Vice President Randy Greco, CHoLAB, Inc. 
• Treasurer Bill Kivit, NorthSide Community Bank
• Immediate Past President Barb Kruser, Niles Library
• Kyle Brown, Edward Jones & Co.
• Dominic Celli, Celli's Beef
• Bruce Glickson, GFS Marketplace
• Bill Griffis, RCM Wealth Advisors
• Chuck Hartogh, C&M Auto Service, Inc.
• Gene Jurczak, Stalwart Systems
• Rich Mangold, RCM Home Inspections
• Kevin Morris, Coca-Cola Refreshments USA, Inc.
• Chris Schyvinck, Shure Incorporated
• John Skaja, Skaja Terrace Funeral Home

In past years, the Chamber has sworn in its board at its holiday party, but Penze said it has switched to holding the installation at the November luncheon, which has better lighting and sound quality and fewer distractions.
