WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Suzanne Clark will take over as chief executive of the biggest U.S. business lobby group on March 11, succeeding Tom Donohue, who is retiring after 24 years in the job, the Chamber said in a statement on Tuesday.
“Suzanne Clark's extensive experience through ever-increasing responsibilities during her more than 16 years at the Chamber, combined with her ambitious vision and ongoing work to strengthen the U.S. Chamber of Commerce make her the resounding choice to lead the organization into the future,” said Christopher Lofgren, who chairs the Chamber's board of directors.
