“The NOMA Board of Directors have accepted with regret the resignation of Charla Robinson as NOMA Executive Director,” said NOMA president Ron Nelson, mayor of O'Connor Township.
“Charla has been key to NOMA’s success over the past three years. Her leadership in the development and implementation of our strategic plan has strengthened the organization and our advocacy efforts towards the betterment of our communities. The relationships she has developed through her time with NOMA will serve her well in her new role with the Chamber. We wish her all the best.”
“Charla brings a wealth of experience in advocacy and government relations that will serve the membership well in ensuring that the “voice of business” is heard by all three orders of government,” said Ed Schmidtke, Chair of the Board for the Chamber of Commerce.
