Meet Pat
|
Pat Krizansky is a lifelong Greater Cleveland resident. She and her husband John live in Broadview Heights. Pat and John have an adult son, also named John, who lives in the area. Pat worked in the retirement plan industry for nearly 20 years, including several years in management positions, until the entrepreneurial spirit led her to start a home based gift basket business. As a small business owner who realized the value of networking to build her business, Pat joined two chambers of commerce. She also got involved in a number of business membership organizations as president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, membership chair, and program chair.
A few years later, with her business at a crossroads and an opportunity to serve as Executive Director of the chamber of commerce in her home community, Pat began her chamber career in Broadview Heights in 1999. After five years as Executive Director, she moved on to the Euclid Chamber of Commerce as Interim Executive Director, and currently serves as the Executive Director of the Rocky River Chamber of Commerce, a position she has held since March 2005.
Pat has been an active participant in the NOACC organization since 1999, and was elected to the position of NOACC secretary in 2004, 2006, and 2007. She is a member of the Chamber of Commerce Executives of Ohio (CCEO) and Westside Professional Women's Connection.
Pat says, "NOACC has given me the opportunity to work closely and network with other local chamber CEOs. The information sharing has been invaluable and has helped me do the best possible job I could do for the chambers I have served."
