GRANDY – The Currituck Chamber of Commerce's chief administrative officer is leaving to take a job as the spokeswoman for two home building and real estate groups in Dare County.

Willo Kelly, the Currituck Chamber's president since 1999, submitted her letter of resignation to the business group's board of directors Thursday. Her resignation takes effect Jan. 31.

Kelly said she's already accepted a job as governmental affairs representative for both the Outer Banks Homebuilders Association and the Outer Banks Association of Realtors. The two groups will jointly pay Kelly's salary.

The Chamber leader said her new job will pay more and won't require her to work as many hours as her current job."
