CEO/President
Kim Latrielle Phone: (406) 303-8759 Email: kim@missoulachamber.com Kim started work with the Missoula Area Chamber of Commerce pretty soon after graduating from Missoula’s Hellgate High School. She answered the phones and greeted visitors. Having worked her way up the ranks –and through national Chamber of Commerce educational and professional development programs – Latrielle has been president and CEO since 1996. “It’s my job to make sure that the strategic initiatives and policies of the board of directors are effectively implemented,” she said. A nonvoting member of the Chamber executive committee, she advises the board concerning policies, programs and other key initiatives. And, Latrielle – along with the board chairperson – is the public face of the Chamber, working with constituencies throughout Missoula’s public and private sectors to promote the Chamber’s goals and priorities for the area business community. While she works toward consensus during office hours, Latrielle does her own thing after work: she’s a serious amateur photographer and painter (acrylics and oil). |
Director of Finance
Frank Cudia Phone: (406) 303-8760 Email: frank@missoulachamber.com An MBA whose job title reads “bean counter,” Frank Cudia is not your average bean counter. Actually he hates to count the beans – he’d much rather spend his focused energy on the big picture, the profit and loss ledger lines that tell whether key projects can get done and a business prospers. “I’m not one to worry about minutia,” he said. “I worry about the big numbers.” But as head of finance for the Chamber of Commerce, everything financial goes through him. Throughout his adult years, Frank Cudia has been in many professional positions that involved leadership, creativity, adherence to rules and other pieces crucial to starting, growing and maintaining a solid business. From the U.S. Air Force to electronics / computer technology* to securities and insurance, Cudia has shared his business development mentality with the Chamber since 2007 as the Director of Finance and Retention. |
My name is Debbie Erbacher. I was born and raised in Missoula, Montana and have lived here my entire life. I have been married to my husband for 34 years, I have two amazing daughters, three beautiful grand children ages 17, 6 and 4, and two fur babies.
After 27 years of working at the University of Montana, I decided that it was time to retire. I knew that I did not want to stop working entirely so I ended up at the Chamber of Commerce. I have been working at the Chamber of Commerce as the Director of Administration for over one year, and I have the pleasure of working directly under the CEO, Kim Latrielle. My day-to-day duties include working on Chamber initiatives, working with the Board of Directors, Executive Committee, Finance Committee, assisting with events and all other items Kim and the Chamber are involved in. I enjoy working at the Chamber and it is made all the better, because I have the best view in Missoula overlooking the Clark Fork River. In my free time I love spending time with my family, especially my grandkids, friends and, of course, my four-legged babies. I love to make jewelry and hope to travel more in the future. |
