Meet The Team

We are pleased to introduce the people that have dedicated their professional lives to providing and improving the business community of Missoula. Please take a moment to get to know our staff, as we welcome and encourage you to call or email any of us with your suggestions and concerns - or just to say hello. Our chamber is a reflection of our community, and it's important that we get to know the members, organizations and residents of the community that we represent.

​CEO/President
Kim Latrielle
​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
​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.

 Director of Government Affairs and Communication
Clint Burson
Clint Burson grew up in Boulder, CO and earned a degree in Communication before moving to Montana and adding a Master’s Degree in Public Relations. He has spent over 9 years as the Copyeditor at the Ravalli Republic in Hamilton. 

Clint’s interest in public policy/government affairs began as a policy debater in college and has continued to grow ever since. He is passionate about finding solutions that help businesses and communities grow and improve together. He enjoys working with Chamber members to help them stay up-to-date with government issues affecting their business and being their voice in the halls of government.

When not focused on the details of current and proposed policy, Clint enjoys spending time with his wife Jessica and son Jaxson, as well as spending time in the outdoors - skiing and hiking - as well as photography.

Director of Membership
​Mark Losh
​The Missoula Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to have Mark Losh as its Director of Membership.
Growing up raising Angus in a farming community outside of Deer Park, WA when he was young, Mark is very much at home in the Missoula area. With over 35 years of sales and marketing experience, ranging from ownership and start-ups to expanding existing companies, Mark has gained a vast and varied amount of experience that he is ready to share and pass on to our membership.
“There is an inner peace that comes from being where you belong, doing what you love with the people you respect in the community that is truly your home,” he said.
As one member shared with us, “If you have not sat down and talked with Mark, you are missing out, his help, support and knowledge was a key to our success in Missoula”.
Fishing, hunting, camping and spending time with family keeps him busy year around.
