Exciting news! I am honored to share that I have been appointed to the Board of Directors of The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia, joining an outstanding group of business leaders dedicated to making the region a top global destination for business and a leader in inclusive growth. Meyer represents part of the Chamber's on-going commitment to amplifying organizations within the Middle Market. I am excited to add our unique perspective as a locally based design firm with a national presence. As an inner-city kid from Southwest Philly, this nomination is especially meaningful to me. I have witnessed the incredible growth of the Philadelphia business community and the impact that growth has had on my hometown. It is a privilege to add my voice to this incredible Board.

Join us in celebrating the recognition of Chamber President and Chief Executive Officer Chellie Cameron as one of Philadelphia magazine's 150 Most Influential People in Philly.
I’m honored to be included as one of Philadelphia magazine’s 150 Most Influential People in Philly, and to have a chance to spotlight the work The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia is doing across our entire 11-county region as we advocate for increased SEPTA funding on behalf of the business community. Philadelphia Magazine called 2024 the “Year of Shift,” and I think that is exactly right. I’ve seen a distinct shift towards collaboration in favor of our shared progress. I know that the movers and shakers on this list (and many, many others) are responsible for the positive momentum we’ve been feeling in Greater Philadelphia – in businesses, nonprofit organizations, government, and the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia, too. I couldn’t be prouder to collaborate with these leaders to make Greater Philadelphia a top global destination for business and a leader in inclusive growth. As we prepare to welcome the world in 2026, I'm confident that the shifts we’re making will be felt in 2027 and beyond. Read the full list, and join me in congratulating the other leaders highlighted: https://lnkd.in/eHuRpWJB
