Lewisville, Texas - April 24, 2013 - The Vice President of the Lewisville Area Chamber of Commerce (LACC), Lisa Hermes, has announced her resignation, effective May 3rd, 2013. After two years in Lewisville, Hermes will assume the position of President for the Metrocrest Chamber of Commerce which services the Carrollton, Farmers Branch and Addison communities.

"In the brief time I have had the pleasure of working with Lisa I have seen a true professional. Leadership is not always an easy calling to answer," stated LACC President Ray Hern�ndez, IOM, "I know Lisa will answer it well."

Prior to assuming the role of Vice President at the Lewisville Chamber Hermes played vital roles at the Rowlett Chamber of Commerce and the McKinney Chamber of Commerce. Hermes joins the Metrocrest Chamber at an exciting time, with membership increasing 55 percent and revenue increasing 44.9 percent in 2012. "Serving the Lewisville business community over the past two year was an honor," Hermes stated, adding "I am beyond appreciative of the opportunity I was afforded to learn from our Chamber members. This is a strong organization thanks to the leadership of our Board of Directors, Membership, and staff. This is a bittersweet parting as I am both sad to leave and excited to start a new endeavor with the Metrocrest Chamber."

Kellie Stokes, Chairman of the LACC Board, praised Hermes for her time as Vice President, saying "Lisa is an exceptional leader in the Chamber industry. We have been blessed to have her talent and know she will do excellent things."
