Travis Martinson was the first executive director in the history of the local business group.
Travis Martinson, the first executive director in the history of the Woodbury Chamber of Commerce, has resigned.

Robert Kreischer will assume his new role on Aug. 1.
The Math and Science Academy announced Tuesday that the school has a new executive director, Robert Kreischer. The Math and Science Academy Board of Directors and a seven-member search committee—comprised of representatives from MSA staff and parent groups—engaged in a three-month search for a new executive director.

Travis Martinson reflects on the group’s successes and the challenges she’s faced since taking over as the Woodbury Chamber of Commerce’s first executive director.
It’s been almost a year since the Woodbury Chamber of Commerce named its first executive director. Travis Martinson was hired Jan. 3, 2011, to head up the local business group, coming over from the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce. Martinson recently sat down with Woodbury Patch to report back on her first year on the job. Woodbury Patch: How are things going? Travis Martinson: Things are going really well, despite the economy and this being the first year having this role. We kind of rocked it out. We had 100 new members at the end of the year, close to 110. We met or exceeded our goals and have a strong renewal rate. (The chamber was up to 355 members as of Dec. 28.) It was a very successful year for our organization as a whole while other…
