Full Job Description

Thank you for your interest in the Executive Director position at the Sauk Prairie Area Chamber of Commerce, in Sauk City, Wisconsin.

Peter Gray Executive Search is posting this position on behalf of the Chamber.

Before applying, please read the detailed job brochure: bit.ly/spacc-job

The Sauk Prairie Area Chamber of Commerce is a vibrant business membership organization that promotes economic development and quality of life in the Sauk Prairie area of Wisconsin. The Sauk Prairie area (named for its largest municipalities, the adjacent villages of Sauk City and Prairie du Sac) is a growing district of over 16,000 residents in south-central Wisconsin, flanking the scenic banks of the Wisconsin River.

With a staff of 3 and a budget of over $500,000, the Chamber serves 390 member businesses, and plays a vital civic leadership role in its communities.

The Chamber’s Executive Director, Tywana German, is retiring after 16 years of transformational leadership (see press release).

This is a great opportunity for an experienced chamber, economic development, or nonprofit leader who is energized by complexity, thrives in collaboration, and is driven to make a meaningful difference.

Deadline: rolling. The position is open until filled. It was announced on June 9, 2026. Rather than setting an application deadline, we are considering applications and holding interviews on a rolling basis, with first-round interviews starting in early July. For best consideration, please apply promptly; and please complete all questions in the application, including the cover letter/personal statement. Our goal is to fill this position by September 2026.

This is not a traditional chamber role. It is an opportunity to shape the future of a community, influence systems, and create lasting impact across multiple sectors.

The ideal candidate is an experienced chamber, economic development, or nonprofit leader who is energized by complexity, thrives in collaboration, and is driven to make a meaningful difference.

The Executive Director serves as the chief strategist, convener, and community catalyst for the Sauk Prairie Area Chamber of Commerce. Reporting to the Board of Directors, this role extends beyond traditional chamber management, acting as a central leader who advances economic vitality, quality of life, and regional competitiveness.

The Executive Director leads the Chamber as both a business membership organization and a community development engine, driving initiatives that address critical community priorities such as placemaking, housing, childcare, workforce development, tourism, small business growth, and regional collaboration.
