Bryan Derreberry has provided executive leadership to the 1,600 member-business Charleston Metro Chamber for the past decade.

The Chamber is nationally recognized, having received ACCE’s 2018 Metro Chamber of the Year award and 15 consecutive years of U.S. Chamber 5-star accreditation.

The Chamber’s four delivery platforms include business development, government relations, workforce development, and leadership/diversity, equity and inclusion.

“My faith and family guide and sustain my efforts and keep me “big picture” focused.” Bryan responds when asked what he attributes his success. “The amazing leverage that comes in partnering with committed volunteer leaders and gifted professional staff to produce winning achievements. Real magic happens at this special nexus. Finally, a driving passion to leave it better than I inherited it. This principle is at the heart of every successful leader.”

Derreberry is now entering his 36th year in the chamber profession, having also led chambers in Kansas, North Carolina, and Ohio, after starting his career as the state lobbyist for the Chamber of Commerce in Cincinnati, Ohio.
