Sullivan retiring as head of Newport Chamber

NEWPORT – Jody Sullivan is retiring as the Newport County Chamber of Commerce’s executive director and a search committee has been formed to find her replacement.

Sullivan, who has been with the chamber since 1994, announced her planned retirement at the February board of directors meeting. She was appointed executive director in February 2010.

“To lead the Newport County Chamber these past five years has been an incredible and humbling experience. … I am totally committed moving forward to finding a new executive director who will continue to lead and steward this great organization on behalf of our members and the business community,” Sullivan said in a statement.

A retirement date has not been set; she will remain with the chamber to help with the transition to a new director.
Scott Humphrey, chairman of the chamber’s board, called Sullivan an asset to the organization.
“The Newport County Chamber of Commerce motto ‘All Chamber All The Time’ is a motto that Jody has lived every day since becoming our executive director,” he said.
With more than 1,100 member companies and organizations, the Newport Chamber of Commerce is the second largest chamber in Rhode Island.
