BEAVER, Pennsylvania – Today, the Beaver County Chamber of Commerce announced Lance Grable to be its next President.  Lance’s career experience in the private and public sectors as well as his deep knowledge of Beaver County will bring significant benefit to Chamber members and the community at large.
