The 2009-10 board of directors of the Carson Valley Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Authority will be installed at their monthly general membership luncheon at the Genoa Lakes Golf Course today.
The oath will be given to the new board by Nancy McDermid, chair of the Douglas County Board of Commissioners.
The new board will be led by president Cheri Glockner of Carson Tahoe Regional Healthcare, president-elect Steve Weissinger of Farmers Insurance, vice president Brian Fitzgerald of the Douglas County Parks & Recreation Department, treasurer Jerilyn Johnson of Nevada State Bank, visitors authority representative Tom Brooks of Carson Valley Golf Course, past president Sam Slack of Resorts West and The Ridge Tahoe and director emeritus Gerry Bing of Bing Materials.

In addition to the installation, luncheon attendees will hear from Jim McClenahan, director of management and executive development programs for the University of Nevada, Reno, whose topic, the failure of leadership, will look at some commonly held, but not necessarily true, beliefs about the best qualities of leaders and offer some alternative views on what makes great leaders.
