The Greater Whitewater Committee (GWC) earlier this month announced that Crystal Singer has been installed as the chairperson of the organization. 

Singer follows outgoing chairman Larry Kachel who announced earlier this year that he would be stepping down from the role. 

GWC President Jeff Knight, within the release, noted that Singer is a founding member of the organization, describing her as “a strong supporter of everything we do.” 

Additionally Knight was quoted as saying in the release: “While Larry will be missed, we understand that his commitments to the school board and his business are important to him. Crystal is immensely qualified to take over this role, and we are excited to see what we can accomplish under her leadership.”

Kachel was installed last month as president of the Whitewater Unified School District Board of Education. 

As noted in the release, Singer is the CEO of Whitewater Manufacturing, a fourth-generation, female-owned business. A company goal includes maintaining continuous improvement practices and procedures that enable it to meet and exceed customer expectations within the community. 

Additionally, the release stated, Singer is active in the Whitewater community, serving on many boards as well as the GWC. 

“I am very fortunate to follow in the footsteps of Larry Kachel, who has done an amazing job over the past 10 years. He cares so much about this community, and I certainly have big shoes to fill. I wish Larry the best in his endeavors, and hope to demonstrate the same level of effective leadership as I take on this role,” Singer was quoted as saying in the release. 

As a member of the GWC, Singer has served as treasurer. Whitewater Manufacturing has served in an ongoing capacity as a title sponsor of the GWC’s Discover Whitewater Series half marathon and 5k event each fall, the release noted.
