El Dorado Chamber of Commerce Announces Leadership Transition

The El Dorado Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors has officially announced a change in leadership. Greg Mudd has submitted his resignation as Executive Director, effective Friday, May 30, 2025. We thank Greg for his service and contributions to the organization and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.



In response to this transition, the Board has appointed Paige McDaniel to lead the Chamber as Interim Executive Director. Paige brings a wealth of experience, a strong commitment to the organization, and a deep understanding of the Chamber’s mission and goals. Her leadership during this period is expected to provide continuity and confidence for the Chamber team and the community it serves.


“The Board has accepted Greg’s resignation thoughtfully and with the future success of the Chamber in mind,” said Nick Engels, Board President. “We’re confident in our team and mission as we move forward.”


Paige shared her thoughts on stepping into this role:

"I am proud to have served the El Dorado Chamber of Commerce for the past three years, where I have used my experience to support our members and community. I’m honored to now serve as the Interim Executive Director during this transitional period. Our commitment to our members and the community remains unchanged. This is a time of opportunity, and I’m here to support our businesses."
"As a proud Augusta, Kansas, native, my connection to El Dorado began with my first job at just 15 years old. Over the years, I’ve built a deep appreciation for the city and its residents. My academic background includes studies at Butler Community College right here in El Dorado."
"I’m passionate about fostering growth and collaboration within our community, and I am truly honored to support the Chamber Members, the city of El Dorado, and the broader community. I look forward to building meaningful connections and working alongside each of you to create a thriving future."


The Chamber remains fully committed to serving its members, local businesses, and the broader El Dorado community. All scheduled programming, events, and initiatives will continue as planned.

On Saturday, May 3rd, the Butler County Women in Business community gathered for an unforgettable evening of connection, collaboration, and unification at our opening Gala. Held at the El Dorado Civic Center, the event brought together 124 guests from across the county—entrepreneurs, professionals, leaders, and supporters—united in the mission of empowering one another and building a strong community. The evening featured a powerful panel of women representing communities across Butler County: Amber Williams of Circa81 (Augusta), Jodi Ocadiz of Shelter Insurance (Andover), and Syndee Scribner of Scribner Enterprises (El Dorado). Each shared personal stories of vulnerability and resilience in their business journeys, inspiring heartfelt conversations and reigniting motivation among attendees. One of the highlights of the night was our $5 raffle baskets , which added a touch of fun and generosity. Thanks to our attendees, we raised $1,080 to support the Women in Business conference next spring. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who attended, sponsored, donated, or helped make the evening a success. Your support fuels this growing network of driven, passionate women throughout Butler County. Here’s to continuing the momentum—and to the bright future of Women in Business in our communities!
