What do cemeteries, pirates, and workforce housing have in common? They’re all part of the journey that brought Maureen McGuinness to lead the Triangle East Chamber of Commerce. From managing six cemeteries in New York to helping Johnston County tackle childcare deserts, housing shortages, and job growth, her story is anything but ordinary. Why did she choose North Carolina? What’s really keeping businesses up at night? And how is JoCo Works changing the way our kids see their future? This conversation made me rethink what a Chamber of Commerce can do.
