The Merrimack Valley Chamber of Commerce this week welcomed a new board member and thanked five retiring directors for their many years of service.

Iverson Guo of Karma Restaurant, Andover, is the newest member of the board of directors, joining during a lunch ceremony Monday. Retiring from the board were Peter Matthews, Merrimack Valley Credit Union; Anita Worden, Solectria; Andrea Luppi, Columbia Gas; David Yee, China Blossom; and Ed Mueskes. Chamber President and CEO Joseph J. Bevilacqua offered his gratitude.

“The Merrimack Valley Chamber of Commerce is the most successful business organization serving the Merrimack Valley,” Bevilacqua said, “and continues to be the recognized business organization people turn to when they need to get things done.”
