After serving eight consecutive years at The Block Island Times as the editor, Lars Trodson will be moving toward a new venture, quite literally down the road from The Times’s office, as the new Executive Director of the Block Island Chamber of Commerce. Block Island Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Cindy Lasser, who will be stepping down from her position at the end of the year, shared a statement on the acceptance of Trodson as the new Executive Director, and the skills he will bring forth to the position. Trodson is set to begin this new position on Monday, Jan. 4.
