Stone to direct South Shelby Chamber

April Stone has been named the new executive director of the South Shelby Chamber of Commerce. Stone assumed responsibilities with the South Shelby Chamber on Feb. 1, according to the chamber’s president.

Stone was chosen out of a pool of 15 other applicants for the position. The executive director position was vacated late last year by Stacy Walkup, who resigned after accepting another position.

Stone was director of community and workforce development at the Greater Shelby County Chamber of Commerce before coming to South Shelby.
