The Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce will kick off the Annual Membership and Total Resource Campaign on August 3.

Todd Buchanan, GEO Consultants Corporation President, and current Chair-Elect of the Paducah Chamber Board of Directors, will lead the campaign as Chair. Buchanan will become the Chamber Board Chair in January 2027.

Buchanan said he is looking forward to working with this campaign to further underscore the Chamber’s deep connection to the community. “We chose the theme this year of ‘Rooted in Paducah: Investing in Our Community. Growing Our Future.’ As businesses invest in Paducah, our community grows stronger. The Chamber is proud to actively participate in that growth,” Buchanan said. “Now is a great time to engage and join as there are even more special perks being offered to new members.”   

Team Captains for 2026 are: DeeAnn Bogaczyk, Blended Brews; Todd Buchanan, Captain of the Captains; Alex Chalker, Brown & Brown; Reis Driver, Baptist Health Paducah; Keaton Faughn, CFSB; Rebecca Ferch, Four Rivers Nuclear Partnership; Justin Halvorson, Paducah Bank; Lisa Lauck, Lauck Marketing, LLC; and Andy Wilson, West Kentucky Community and Technical College.

The Campaign Celebration open to all Chamber members to greet the new members will be held on August 27 at the 1857 Hotel from 4 to 6 p.m. and sponsored by GEO Consultants Corporation.
