Past Presidents and Chairs

Since 1926, the Greater Bethesda Chamber has been led by the "who's who" of the business community of Montgomery County. The great success of the Chamber and greater Bethesda can be directly attributed to this amazing group of leaders. The Past Chairs continue to stay involved in the Chamber through their participation in the Annual Chamber Chair Nominating Committee, as well as by serving as Chamber representatives and spokespersons on various community boards and councils including the Bethesda Urban Partnership, White Flint Downtown Advisory Council and other groups.
