Bellingham picks STELLAR

Executive Director Robert Pochert, CEcD, EDFP, leads the Council's effort in this picturesque community.  Bellingham and Whatcom County are strategically located between Seattle and Vancouver, B.C.


Gainesville is back again!

Another former client of STELLAR Founder and CEO Terry Cusack is back with another project in mind; this time for what will prove to be the biggest community and economic development effort ever undertaken in Hall County (GA).  The last campaign resulted in construction of one of the finest chamber of commerce buildings in the area.

Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce President Kit Dunlap is one of the state's top economic developers and will team up with Cusack for yet another successful campaign.
