Dear Chamber Members, We are writing to share an important leadership update at the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber. The Chamber’s Board of Directors has appointed Tom Pierson to serve as Interim President & CEO, effective immediately. Many of you know Tom from his previous tenure leading the Chamber for over a decade. He brings deep institutional knowledge, strong relationships across the South Sound, and a steady, member centered approach to leadership. His return at this moment provides invaluable continuity and confidence for our staff, investors, and members. During his tenure at the chamber, Tom led coalitions that secured funding for the 167 Completion project and led the formation of the Manufacturing Industrial Council. Our Board will launch a comprehensive search for our next permanent President & CEO. This process will include input from our members, staff, and community stakeholders to help identify a leader that reflects the values and priorities of Tacoma-Pierce County’s business community. Looking ahead, the Chamber remains strong, focused, and stable. If you have questions or would like to share feedback as we move through this transition, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your continued support, partnership, and trust. Warm regards, Chyna Willman Board Chair Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce Welcome to the new members who joined our business community in September 2025:
