The Andalusia Area Chamber of Commerce announced that Chrissie Schubert Duffy will serve as its next executive director.

Duffy most recently was the owner of Chrissy Schubert’s Treats, which created customized cookies for boutiques, corporations and special events.

“When Kevin and I moved here 10 years ago, we knew we wanted to raise our children here,” she said. “When I opened my business here, I knew it was a good place to be in business. I know

first hand the trials and tribulations of operating a business.

“If we believe in ourselves, try our ideas, and have faith, we can make it happen,” she said. “I look forward to visiting with each of you in coming months.”

Duffy begins work Monday.
