Malibu Chamber of Commerce President Rebekah Evans has stepped down, the Chamber announced in a press release this Friday. Mark Persson, director of membership services, has been named interim president. Persson said Friday he did not know why Evans stepped down, because the decision was made behind closed doors by the Chamber’s board of directors Feb. 17. However, Persson said staff had been told that the board “accepted her resignation.”
Evans served as President/CEO of the Chamber for almost six years. Previously she worked as the CEO/President of the Moorpark Chamber of Commerce.
