The chamber’s board chair says Brandom Gengelbach’s departure gives it a chance to evaluate its role going forward.
The leader of Fort Worth’s business attraction efforts since 2020 is departing.’s exit on Tuesday. The chamber didn’t indicate why he’s leaving.
“He’s been a tireless cheerleader and advocate for our city’s business community,” said chamber board chair Rosa Navejar in a statement. “We all wish him and his family success in his next endeavor.”Hillwood president Mike Berry will lead the chamber on an interim basis while the board searches for Gengelbach’s replacement.
“We are studying how other cities support development of local business while also driving business attraction and retention,” Navejar said. “Many cities have chosen to separate economic development activities from the traditional chamber functions of supporting local businesses, workforce development, government advocacy, infrastructure, and transportation. This separated model clearly has worked well, as many of the cities with which we compete for business attraction have adopted it.
