Judy Crawford
In 2004 after 35 years in the travel business Judy sold her travel agency and 20 days later was hired (sort of) by the Goderich & District Chamber of Commerce. Sort of because The Chamber had very little money to pay for this position and did not know what to do to turn the Chamber around to make it successful. Judy had all her office equipment available and a room in her century home that could be used as an office for the chamber. Judy was the volunteer Charter President of the Chamber in 1991 and has always cared deeply for the success of the Goderich & District Chamber of Commerce. She enjoys the daily challenges and rewards of this position. During her working career Judy has been very active in many volunteer positions and in 1999 became the second woman in Canada to become a District Governor for Rotary International. Judy is married and has two grown children.
