The Chatham County Chamber of Commerce announced its latest president and CEO to lead the organization amid a time of significant change for the county.
Rebecca Dickenson earned appointment to the position, according to a release from the chamber on Thursday, and takes over leading the chamber immediately. She succeeds Tyler Bryant, who departed the Chatham County chamber last fall after beginning in the role during May.
Dickenson, who most recently worked at The Resiliency Solution doing professional coaching, worked with the Chamber for a Greater Chapel Hill-Carrboro for more than six years — including as its vice president for membership and operations.
The Chatham County chamber’s board of directors were attracted by Dickenson’s background in business development, strategic planning and community engagement, according to its release.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Rebecca to lead the Chatham Chamber,” said Chris Elkins, who chairs the board. “Her collaborative mindset and proven track record in building strategic partnerships make her the right person to champion the interests of our members and ensure sustainable, inclusive growth in Chatham County.”
“I’m honored to join the Chatham Chamber staff team at such a pivotal time,” Dickenson said. “I consider it an incredible opportunity to work alongside our dedicated Board of Directors, experienced staff, and engaged members. I’m excited to help our business community tap into powerful connections, grow with confidence, and lead the conversation around shaping a thriving, future-ready Chatham County.”
The CEO search and hire comes at a time when the nonprofit chamber is adjusting alongside Chatham’s community to significant population growth and development. The construction of Chatham Park in the northeastern part of the county, the Wolfspeed factory west of Siler City, and other major projects represent not just opportunities for the citizens of Chatham County to work and live, but also a growing customer base and opportunity for businesses. In its Thursday release, the chamber of commerce said Dickenson will work to provide its members with “meaningful information, resources, connections, and advocacy they need” to succeed. She will also oversee all operations of the nonprofit, including recruiting efforts, accounting and implementing programs.
The Chatham County Chamber of Commerce currently serves roughly 420 member organizations and operates with an annual budget of $400,000, according to its website.
