An organization that promotes business and industry in the Charlottesville area has been without a permanent leader since the previous chief executive officer resigned last December.
The Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce has now launched a search campaign to replace Natalie Masri and a committee began work yesterday.
“Our Board is enthusiastic and dedicated to the important process of selecting a CEO whose qualities and expertise align with the needs and aspirations of our entire community,” reads an August 20 press release quoting Board Chair Sasha Tripp, the owner of Story House Real Estate.
Tripp stepped into the Board Chair position after Rebecca Ivins stepped down to serve as the interim CEO. Andrea Copeland is the chief operating officer.
The goal is recruit candidates this fall with the hope of having interviews in November and December. For more on the search, visit the Chamber’s website.
The Chamber is also selling their downtown headquarters and plan to relocate. I had a story on that in the August 7, 2024 C-Ville Weekly if you want to go read it.
