The Greater BucksMont Chamber of Commerce (GBMCC) has announced the appointment of Amanda Soler as its new Executive Director, following the departure of longtime Executive Director Judy Doherty.
Doherty has served the organization for more than a decade, helping establish and nurture relationships with businesses, community leaders, and Chamber members throughout the region. During her tenure, she fostered relationships throughout the Greater BucksMont business community.
The Chamber recognizes the dedication and leadership of its Board of Directors, whose commitment to the organization and its members continues to guide GBMCC into the future.
A New Chapter of Connection and Possibility
Soler brings more than three decades of experience in chamber leadership, organizational development, community engagement, events, partnerships, and relationship building. She previously served in leadership at the Central Bucks Chamber of Commerce, where she supported a broad business membership, coordinated major events, guided committees, developed partnerships, and advanced initiatives that connected businesses and the community.
“We are excited to welcome Amanda to the Greater BucksMont Chamber,” said Chamber President Patricia Hueber-Bodor. “She brings extensive Chamber experience, a strong background in community engagement and relationship building, and a genuine passion for connecting people and businesses. Amanda understands the value a Chamber can bring to its members, and we look forward to her leadership as we continue to strengthen the organization and create new opportunities for our members and the broader business community.”
Soler has also worked with businesses and community organizations to develop programs and initiatives, facilitate meaningful conversations, and bring people together around shared goals. She is the founder of SolFul Living, a platform dedicated to meaningful stories, practical tools, and authentic connection, and host of SolFul Connections, a podcast exploring the events, challenges, and possibilities that shape our lives and work.
Her experience across business, community, and personal development informs an approach to Chamber leadership that recognizes the many reasons people join a Chamber: to build relationships, access resources, grow their businesses, develop as leaders, and become more connected to the community around them.
“I am honored to have the opportunity to lead the Greater BucksMont Chamber of Commerce,” said Soler. “I believe deeply in the power of connection between people, businesses, and the communities we call home. I am excited to listen, learn, and work alongside our members, our Board of Directors, and our community partners to build on the Chamber’s strengths and create meaningful opportunities for businesses and the people behind them.”
Soler’s leadership will focus on strengthening relationships with existing members, welcoming new businesses and prospective members, supporting business growth and professional development, and exploring new opportunities for collaboration and community engagement. Her vision for the Chamber centers on connection, collaboration, and community, creating an environment where businesses feel supported, relationships flourish, leaders develop, and there is space for new ideas and possibilities.
Soler officially began her role as Executive Director on September 21, 2026.
