Brian West's term as the 2016 chair for the Greater Plant City Chamber of Commerce came to a ceremonial close Thursday, Jan. 26.
West and previous Chamber chairs came together at the John R. Trinkle Center at Hillsborough Community College to pass the gavel to Yvonne Fry, the 2017 chair.
Once inducted, Fry shared her dreams for the Chamber and Plant City for 2017. Using the acronym B.O.L.D., Fry said she believes the City and Chamber will continue to grow and succeed through being brave and creating continued opportunities, leaders and dreamers.
In addition to Fry's induction, 2018 chair-elect Jason Jones was presented with the Chairman's Award, and Stephen Rossiter was honored with Rise Plant City's inaugural Rising Star Award.
