Chamber leadership said its governing board had become too big. That board agreed, and has ceded power to a smaller, more nimble body.
Richard Perez, president and CEO of the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, cited the example of other large chambers around the country in his organization's decision to restructure with a smaller governing board.Leaders of the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce want the business advocacy organization to become more agile and impactful, and they believe it has made progress with a recent change in governance.
In a press release, the chamber said the move is the culmination of a process that began late last year. Membership feedback from a survey indicated a desire for the chamber to become more “nimble, efficient and focused on responding to the business needs of the community,” the release said. Following that guidance, a task force recommended the new governing structure.
Former chamber president and CEO Joe Krier, a former San Antonio councilman who is Perez’s predecessor, said the change in governance is a move in the right direction. “I hope it will cause it to be a more influential organization,” he said. The San Antonio Chamber has around 1,650 members, a drop from the roughly 2,100 it had before the pandemic. Over the years, other chambers formed around geographic areas or other interests, with the North San Antonio Chamber of Commerce and the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce enjoying robust membership.
