The North Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce has a new executive leader.
The chamber’s executive committee of the board of directors named board member and local construction company executive Curtis Cummings on Monday as its new president and CEO.
Cummings succeeds former president and CEO Michael Varney, who is leaving to take the executive position at the Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce.
“Curtis has demonstrated a high level of involvement in Chamber activities and a keen awareness of Chamber operations in his role as vice-chair of membership,” Chairman John McMillan said. “We believe he will be able to make the transition in executive leadership seamless and efficient.”
Cummings, who has been on the NLVCC board of directors for four years, said he was looking forward to his new position in the chamber.
“I have a history of being heavily involved in community affairs,” Cummings said. “Being able to apply my executive and operational background to a dynamic organization like the North Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce is something I am very excited about.”
Cummings said he would work with Varney for the remainder of April to make the transition seamless.
