New appointment to replace retiring Steve Rose
The Culver City Chamber of Commerce announced the appointment of Colin Diaz as the President/CEO of the Chamber of Commerce following the retirement of Steven J. Rose after serving over 30 years as its leader.
Colin has over 18 years of management, marketing, sales and community outreach experience. His past ventures have spanned the sports, entertainment, education, hospitality and chamber sectors. He most recently served as the Marketing & Sales Director for the Santa Fe Springs Chamber where he drove new member growth, encouraged engagement and the utilization of resources, as well as supported advocacy efforts on a local and regional scale.
He brings an impressive educational background with an MBA from Duke University and a MFA for Chapman University. As part of the Santa Fe Springs Chamber Team, Colin used a blend of his professional, personal and educational experience to grow reach, elevate the chamber brand to others and protect the reputation of the Chamber.
His range of educational, professional and practical experience, allow him to be in-tune with current trends and technology, while still being rooted in the sound practices that have led businesses for decades. He has been viewed as a future industry influencer and currently sits on both the W.A.C.E. 2018 Conference Committee, as well as the W.A.C.E. Emerging Leaders Advisory Council.
Personally, Colin values spending family time with the beautiful women in his house – his wife Alicia and 4-year old daughter Shanice. When he is not there or visiting their extended families, you may find him on a basketball court somewhere. He’s always been active and uses that energy and enthusiasm in both professional and personal endeavors.
Colin’s leadership skills, chamber experience will bring continued success to the Culver City Chamber as we begin a new era after three decades of Steve’s unique leadership style,” Paul Goldstein, Chair of the Board of the Culver City Chamber said
Colin begins his tenure at the Chamber on November 13, 2017. His contact information will be 310-287-3855 and his email will be colin@culvercitychamber.com.
