Century Chamber Elects Outgoing Mayor McCall As New President

December 16, 2016

Thursday, outgoing Century Mayor Freddie McCall was elected president of the Century Chamber of Commerce, where he plans to continue to champion the best Century has to offer.

“I intend to visit all the businesses in Century, hit the pavement and see that they are on board with what we are trying to do,” McCall said. “A big purpose of the chamber of commerce is work for new business and help our existing businesses try to be the best that they can be. We will work together with our businesses  for a better community.”

McCall said he will also work to bring new businesses and industries to Century. He pushed for economic development while serving the past nine years as mayor, but he expects to be more productive with “more time on his hands”.

McCall’s second term as mayor comes to an end on January 1 as his new volunteer position as chamber president begins. He currently serves as chamber vice president.

Also Thursday, the Century Chamber Board of Directors elected Mary Hudson Bourgeois, owner of Hudson’s Grocery, as vice president; re-elected Kim Godwin, Town of Century, as secretary and  re-elected Angie Kelley, Penair Century branch manager, as treasurer.
