“West Chester is a better place to live, work, and raise a family because of Mark’s leadership.”

Dave Fairman will act as the chamber’s interim president.

West Chester University president Chris Fiorentino called Yoder an exceptional leader.

“Mark has always put our community and its people first in everything that he has done,” said Fiorentino. “His impact on West Chester is far reaching, and his ability to create effective synergies between and among businesses has been incredible.”
