On behalf of the Chamber Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and Executive Committee Co-Chair Trey Rogers, I am pleased to announce that we have appointed recognized business leader J. J. Ament as our new Chamber President and CEO. J. J. brings proven leadership to his new role along with financial acumen, a deep understanding of what organizations and communities need now to succeed, and pro-business passion to create a climate for growth and opportunity.
We choose J. J., in part, for his previous experience working within the Chamber ecosystem and oversight of the state’s largest private sector economic development organization. His intimate knowledge of the Chamber, the business community and the region is invaluable for bringing stability, continuity and consistency to our complex organization. He demonstrated to the Executive Committee his readiness to lead and presented a vision that clearly articulated the Chamber’s future.
“It’s a great privilege and responsibility to continue the collaborative, inclusive and bipartisan leadership of the Chamber, representing the diverse voices of our vibrant community to create advantages for Denver-based businesses.”
– J. J. Ament, President and CEO, Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce
Navigating the New World of Work
The Chamber is focused on helping its members to navigate the new world of work with the insights, tools and resources they need to be successful in this new normal. J. J. understands the dynamics of business and that the way we do business is forever changed. With his proven success at the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation, leadership skills and strong relationships, he is poised to make an immediate impact at the Chamber. I am excited to partner with J. J. to usher a new era for the Chamber, focused on efforts to solve the state’s most pressing issues and to strategically accelerate Colorado’s growth.
With the transition, we thank Kelly for working with the leadership team of the Chamber, which has created a solid foundation from which J. J. will lead.
