Chamber Chat with Marshall County's Debbie Buchanan

We continue our conversations with local chamber of commerce executives. Today, Chad Lampe speaks with Marshall County Chamber Executive Administrator Debbie Buchanan about measuring holiday sales and the challenges of a running rural chamber.

Chad Lampe, a Poplar Bluff, Missouri native, was raised on radio. He credits his father, a broadcast engineer, for his technical knowledge, and his mother for the gift of gab. At ten years old he broke all bonds of the FCC and built his own one watt pirate radio station. His childhood afternoons were spent playing music and interviewing classmates for all his friends to hear. At fourteen he began working for the local radio stations, until he graduated high school. He earned an undergraduate degree in Psychology at Murray State, and a Masters Degree in Mass Communication. In November, 2011, Chad was named Station Manager in 2016.
