South Carolina Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Bob Morgan announced his resignation Monday, June 24, after serving in the role for longer than three years. Mike Brenan, a former Chairperson of the Chamber’s Board of Directors, will serve as interim president and CEO while the board conducts a comprehensive search for Morgan’s permanent successor.
“I’m humbled to have been given the opportunity to lead such a storied and important organization with the help of so many talented professionals, and I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together,” Morgan said in a news release. “Since moving to South Carolina, Meg and I have become passionate about the Palmetto State and I look forward to helping the state continue to grow and prosper. I look forward to building on this experience as I pursue the next chapter in my career.”
“South Carolina’s business community is stronger and better represented than it was when Bob joined us, and we’re grateful for his time here,” said Will Whitley of Michelin North America and S.C. Chamber Board Chair. “The Chamber is on an exciting trajectory, having accomplished great things during the most recent two-year legislative session and bolstering our reputation as the voice of South Carolina’s thriving business community as a result. We’re fortunate to have an accomplished and respected leader like Mike Brenan offer his experience and guidance as we build on this momentum and search far and wide for the next president and CEO.”
