The Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce has named Guy Browning as chairman of its board of directors for 2021.

Browning is the senior vice president of fulfillment for MacMillan Publisher Services (MPS) and will serve a one-year term as board chairman. He had planned to serve as vice chairman this year, but moved into the chairman role when Chairman-Elect Jonathan Davis announced his relocation for a job as chief operating officer for FirstHealth of the Carolinas.

The chamber also announced four new board members. They include:

Kara Chandeysson, city manager for Ting Charlottesville
Keith O’Neil, chief operating officer for U.Va. Community Credit Union
Ravi Respeto, president and CEO for the United Way of Greater Charlottesville
Charlie Rogers, president and CEO for Innovative Software Solutions

“Our new board members share a deep commitment to this community,” Chamber President and CEO Elizabeth Cromwell said in a statement. “We’re grateful to add their talents to our board in this pivotal year for economic recovery.”
