Remembering our friend and colleague Frank

Director of Finance (2007- March 2023)
​An MBA whose job title reads “bean counter,” Frank Cudia was not your average bean counter. Actually he hated 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 went through him.
​
​Throughout his adult years, Frank Cudia had 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, Frank shared his business development mentality with the Chamber since 2007 as the Director of Finance and Retention.
