Lindsay Cloud of Leesburg has been elected to serve as chairman of the Highland County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors in 2022.

She is a Certified Public Accountant with a bachelor of science degree in computer information systems and a master’s degree in accounting and financial management. She enjoys her banking career and has served in various roles with Southern Hills Community Bank in Leesburg for more than 17 years.
