The Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce has selected its new president and CEO: Kristin J. Weiss, who will join the chamber on Oct. 6.
Weiss, selected through a nationwide search, will work through the end of the year with current President and CEO Nancy Keefer, who will retire effective Dec. 18, according to a press release.
“We are excited to welcome Kristin and look forward to working with her to continue to elevate the Daytona Regional Chamber’s mission of providing a platform for businesses to grow and thrive in our region,” said Michael Sznapstajler, who led the chamber's search committee.
Weiss comes from the Central Fort Bend Chamber in Texas, where she worked for over seven-and-a-half years. During her tenure there, the chamber earned the U.S. Chamber's 5-star accreditation and spearheaded a Workforce Development initiative. Weiss is also a certified chamber executive and has a total of 15 years' experience in various chamber positions.
She was approved for the CEO position by the Daytona Regional Chamber's board of directors on July 29.
“I am truly honored and excited to join the Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce as incoming president and CEO," Weiss said. "I look forward to collaborating with the dedicated staff, board, and valued members as we continue to advance the region’s vibrant business community."
