LONGMONT: Bruce R. Partain has been named as the new president/CEO of the Longmont Area Chamber of Commerce.
Partain comes to Longmont after having served as the president/CEO of the Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce in Nacogdoches, Texas between Dallas and Houston. He had held that position since 2001.
Prior to that he was vice president of membership and communications for the Midland, Texas Chamber of Commerce.
He currently serves as board chair of the Texas Chamber of Commerce Executives.
“We are very pleased to have someone of Bruce’s caliber joining us,” chamber board chair Carol Schack said. “After an extensive interview process, involving not only our board of directors but also business and community leaders, we feel that he has the skills and expertise that will help lead the Longmont Area Chamber of Commerce now and into the future.”
“Our finalists all had the qualities to fit the bill for the position,” Schack said. “I believe one tipping point for Bruce was his vast experience as a chamber CEO and his past successes in developing non-dues revenue streams.”
