Rohnert Park honors longtime chamber director Lisa Orlof as Kathy Slack takes CEO role
Summary
Council and community leaders recognized Lisa Orlof for a decade leading the Rohnert Park Chamber of Commerce and welcomed Kathy Slack as the incoming CEO; Orlof said she will step back to a director of events role but remain active.
Rohnert Park — Members of the City Council and the Rohnert Park business community praised Lisa Orlof on Dec. 2 for 10 years of leadership at the chamber of commerce and presented a certificate honoring her service.
Kathy Slack, introduced as the new chamber CEO, described Orlof as a connector who helped the chamber grow from roughly 240 members to more than 400 and guided the organization through pandemic pivots such as drive‑through events. Council Member Rodriguez, the council’s chamber liaison, thanked Orlof for building partnerships that elevated the city’s profile.
Orlof told the council she was not retiring and would move into a director of events and community engagement role to spend more time with family. “I love what I do,” she said. “I’ve celebrated 10 years and this will provide me more flexibility.”
The presentation included remarks from Darlene (board chair), other council members, and a photo opportunity with chamber staff and councilmembers.
What’s next: Kathy Slack will step into the CEO role immediately and Orlof will continue to support the chamber in a new capacity; the council recognized both for their contributions to local business outreach and events.
