Chamber names Miller as new manager

Maria Miller has been named the new manager of the Clarendon Chamber of Commerce following a recent meeting of chamber directors.

Miller began work Monday and said that she is excited about her new position and looks forward to her new role.

“I want to build up the Chamber and make it more successful,” she said. “I’m always coming up with ideas, and I’m a hard-worker and motivated to get it done.”

Chamber President Bob Weiss said he is also looking forward to working with Miller.

“We had a lot of good candidates, and we’re excited to have Maria join our team,” Weiss said.

Miller grew up in the Clarendon community and graduated from Clarendon High School in 1992. Other than a short stint in the Corpus Christi area, she has lived and worked in Donley County.

“My love of Clarendon and the history we have is what attracted me to this job,” she said. “I just love this place.”

Miller expressed particular fondness for the Mulkey Theatre and the 1890 Donley County Courthouse, which was restored in 2003.

“I was also the only female to work on the courthouse project,” she said, noting that she also worked with Phoenix I on the courthouse in Gray County as well.

Miller succeeds Sharlene Bordonaro as manager. Bordonaro accepted a fulltime position with a local business but will remain involved in the Chamber after the board appointed her to a vacant director’s position Monday night.

Miller will office in the Clarendon Visitor Center, which continues to be open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. inside the Mulkey Theatre at 110 S. Kearney.

The new manager encourages people to contact the Visitor Center by calling 806-874-2421, emailing Chamber@ClarendonTx.com, or by going by the office inside the Mulkey Theatre.
