MADISON – The Madison Chamber of Commerce announced today that Michelle
Epling has been named its new Executive Director, effective Nov. 8.
The Chamber of Commerce has been without an Executive Director since 2019, with
the Covid-19 pandemic temporarily halting its search for a new ED after early 2020.
According to Board member Jan Bias, “the Board is extremely excited to have Michelle
as our new Executive Director knowing she will re-energize the Madison Chamber of
Commerce moving forward!”
Epling has deep roots in the Huntsville-Madison area. Born and raised in Huntsville, she
graduated from Grissom High School in 2002. Epling met her future husband, Adam, at
Auburn University, and after earning a marketing degree in 2006, she moved to the city
of Madison. Epling continues to live in Madison with her husband and two children.
In addition to her love for the city of Madison, Epling brings extensive and wide-ranging
experience from business development, corporate direct sales and sales coaching, two
entrepreneurships, and volunteerism with several major nonprofit organizations.
Previous employment includes an account executive position with Huntsville EVENT
Magazine.
Epling is the former Director of Capital Giving at the Fantasy Playhouse Children’s
Theater and Academy and is Senior Executive of Sales and Marketing at Newberry
Pecans, her family’s business.
Along with her other roles, Epling currently serves as VP of Programs for the Midtown
Elementary PTA, where her children attend school. She is currently a member of the
Gothic Guild and the Women’s Economic Development Council.
Epling strives to lead the Madison Chamber of Commerce to the next era of growth and
prosperity. “I am looking forward to continuing to build and grow the great traditions we
have at the Madison Chamber of Commerce and partnerships with the City of Madison
and our community to continue to add value to our chamber memberships to help grow
all local businesses and continue to find new and innovative partnerships to bring the
community together.”
