Chase Gregory, Board of directors

“I choose to be a part of the Ivanhoe board because I care about the area that I have worked, played, and lived near for over 15 years. I like to help keep the Ivanhoe community clean including the lake because I am an avid wakeskater, and I believe that with a clean district (streets and waterways), businesses can prosper and attract more talent and funding for growth. My role on the board is to help the marketing efforts which helps the businesses and brings awareness to the district that may not have known about it previously.””
