Los Fresnos Chamber Names New Director Long-time resident, Val Champion, will be taking over the reins as Executive Director of the Los Fresnos Area Chamber of Commerce, effective immediately. While the announcement holds great promise and excitement for the possibilities that the future may bring for the chamber; it is also a bittersweet announcement. Champion will be filling the position that has been held by Debra Badeaux for more than ten years. Badeaux has chosen to step down from the role of Executive Director of the chamber.
