This week, the Columbus Chamber of Commerce team came together to celebrate the New Year and warmly welcome Derrick R. Clay as our new President and CEO. We spent meaningful time reflecting, setting goals, and planning how we can deepen our impact on the vibrant business community in and around Columbus. As we gathered, we took a moment to take in the beautiful view of the city we’re so proud to serve. To wrap up our day of connection and inspiration, we raised a toast to the New Year and to our team. Derrick shared a powerful reminder during this special moment "Look at all of the lives that we have an opportunity to impact." With hearts full of purpose, we’re committed to making a positive and lasting difference in our community. Please join us in giving a heartfelt welcome to our President and CEO, Derrick R. Clay!

📣 A New Era of Leadership at the Columbus Chamber: Today, we proudly welcome Derrick R. Clay as our new President and CEO. We look forward to an exciting future together!
Experienced C-Suite Executive | Business Advocate | Veteran Political Analyst | Board Room Director | Master Relationship Builder
Today marks a new era of leadership at the Columbus Chamber of Commerce as I take the helm as President and CEO! The photo below was taken several years ago as I was leaving a meeting at the chamber. At the time, I remember how proud it felt to be part of an organization that advocated for businesses across the Central Ohio region. Today, that same enthusiasm is felt as I now lead the organization. Thank you to Don DePerro for your leadership the past nine years. It has been a pleasure to work and learn from you! Thank you to our wonderful and very talented staff and our Board of Directors, who provide unwavering leadership for this organization! Lastly, to the business community… thank you for all you do. You are the economic engine of our region. Central Ohio is growing at such a rapid pace because you have made a commitment to excellence. Your collective efforts have made this region one of the best places in the country to live, work and play. Please know that this chamber will continue to fight for you so you can concentrate on scaling your business! Thank you for the opportunity to serve. —Derrick
