Board of Directors

Jim Graff
Company/Business: Retired, after operating a petroleum trucking business for the past 15 years
Position with the Chamber: Jim acts as the official representative from the Town of Perth Council
Why I decided to volunteer with the Chamber: Being raised in Perth, but having the opportunity to live in other parts of the country, I realized just how special Perth and its small-town atmosphere really are to me. Having an interest in both municipal governance and economic development, I was pleased to be the council appointment to the Chamber. While our local economy is in relatively good shape, we have opportunities and a requirement for new growth so that we can meet future challenges to our standard of living.
