Meet Our Board
Ron Haas
-Chamber President
-Owner-Martino's Italian Restaurant
I have been in the Stanley area my whole life, I was raised 1 of 10 children on a farm north west of Stanley. I married my high school sweetheart after graduating from Stanley-Boyd HS. We have 8 children. I have been the owner and operator of Martino's since 2004. Before that I was printer-operator at Pactive Corp. Manager at Gambles in Stanley. A welder and press break operator at Twin Cities Shipyard and a Machine Operator at 3M. I am passionate about our city and I enjoy being part of organizations working to better the city. I am a member of the Wisconsin and National Restaurant Association, Chippewa County Economic Development Corporation, CVTC Culinary Advisory Board and the Stanley Truck Pull & Rodeo Board.
Lacey Granger
-Vice President of Operations
-Real Estate Agent- Coldwell Banker Brenizer, Realtors Eau Claire
My husband and I live in Stanley with our 3 boys. We have a small beef farm where we raise Belted Galloways. I am a full time real estate agent for Coldwell Banker Brenizer Realtors. My real estate career began in 2004 working as a legal assistant for a law firm in Massachusetts. In 2014 I started as an Office Admin/ Brokers Assistant for a local Stanley real estate brokerage, which led to getting my Realtors license in 2017. During the craziness of COVID, I decided to take some time off and become a mortgage lender at Forward Bank in Stanley, but ultimately returned to my real estate career. I enjoy learning and being part of the community and I look forward to utilizing my connections and friendships that I've created over the past 15 years to help the businesses in town thrive, through networking and education.
John McLoone

-Owner-Stanley Republican Newspaper
I have been a member of the Stanley community for along time, I think it is a wonderful city. My family enjoys living in this area. I have been the owner of The Stanley Republican and other publications in various cities for many years.
Nicole Witt

-Miss Stanley Royalty Program Co-Coordinator
-Owner-It's Treat O' Clock Somewhere Ice Cream Bike
I have lived in Stanley for almost 12 years with my husband of 13 years Michael. We have 3 children; two daughters and a son. Our family owns “Treat O’ Clock Ice Cream Bike” and we enjoy being apart of the community. I hold a position on the Stanley Community Association as secretary for the past year and a half; I also recently became co-coordinator of the Miss Stanley Ambassador Program. I look forward to being a new board member on the Stanley Chamber of Commerce because I feel like it would be a great opportunity to become a cheerleader for existing businesses and an ambassador for businesses to come to the area. I am excited to bring new ideas to help support the local economy, promote business growth, encourage tourism, educate the community on the assets that are here already and to be a voice for the community to help make Stanley the best that it can be.

Brendan Haney
-Board Member
-Citizens Bank-Cadott
I am a commercial lender for Citizens State Bank. I earned my bachelor of science degree with an emphasis on Economics from the University of Wisconsin- Madison. I am one of the newest board members of the Stanley Chamber, member of the Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire chamber, member of Young Professionals, and member of the United Way Emerging Leaders. In my free time I enjoys spending time with my family and friends, traveling, playing any sport with competition (especially golf and basketball), and learning through new experiences. What drew my interest to the Stanley area is the sense of community, the fact that it is growing, and especially the people. I currently live in Chippewa Falls with my wife and soon to be daughter since 2021.
