PRATT — The Pratt Area Chamber of Commerce board of directors has announced Ashley Fitzsimmons Smith as its new president and chief executive officer, effective July 5.

Smith comes to PACC from IMI Global, where she has worked as a Sales Coordinator & Customer Verification Specialist. She previously held positions with Cinch Outlet/Miller International, Performance Livestock Analysts, and High Call Outfitters.

Smith grew up on a farm in eastern Pratt County. With the desire to be closer to family, she and her husband made the decision to move back to Pratt in order to make it their home to live and raise their own family. 

Smith holds a B.S. in Organizational Leadership from Fort Hays State University and a B.S. in Agricultural Communications and Journalism from Kansas State University.
