About Kenai Chamber of Commerce Links Board of Directors Committees Meet the Staff Contact Information

Carol Bannock first joined the Kenai Chamber in November 2001 and worked as the Executive Assistant through 2003.  A change in her husband’s job took them to Anchorage for a short time but Kenai is home and they always knew they would be back.  On their return Carol immediately took advantage of the Ambassador program and began to volunteer with the Chamber until the Board hired her to serve as the Executive Director in March of 2010.

A graduate of Cook Inlet Academy in Soldotna, Carol is a third generation Alaskan who, along with her husband Duane, raised their two boys here in Kenai.  From summer picnics at the beach, to helping her boys prepare for a Boy Scout "100° Below" mid-winter camping trip, to enjoying the July 4th festivities as a spectator, participant or planner, Carol has enthusiastically embraced the Kenai life and is eager to serve the members of the Kenai Chamber of Commerce.
