Light to to lead Chamber

Craig Light made it no secret there was something in Newton that he coveted most of all and on Monday morning, he finally got it.

Light has been serving in his second stint as the interim executive director for the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce since June, after long-time executive director Darrell Sarmento stepped down. The Chamber announced Monday that Light will step permanently into the role of executive director.

When the Chamber first announced Light’s appointment, he had very positive things to say about Newton and the Chamber.

“It feels fabulous to return to Newton because in 2010, I had the opportunity to meet many new great citizens, Chamber members and business owners,” he said. “I was treated very kindly and I had a fabulous experience. When I was asked recently to come back again, I was very excited as it’s truly a testament to the experience Newton gave me in 2010.”
