As Mental Health Awareness Month unfolds in Colorado, it serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility to prioritize mental well-being.

“Upon meeting community leadership, board members and staff we knew this was a perfect fit,” Henning said in the statement. “I look forward to ensuring the Greeley area continues to be a region on the move with a pro-business environment and to advocating for the economic vibrancy of the community.”

Executive search firm Waverly Partners and the Chamber’s Executive Committee, chaired by Bryce Jacobson of the Greeley Tribune, conducted a nationwide search for a new CEO.

“I’m excited to have someone with Jaime’s vast amount of experience to champion, advocate and promote commerce in the Greeley area,” Jacobson said in a prepared statement. “Her experience, specifically in fundraising, policy and developing young professionals are the skills I’m most excited about.”

Henning succeeds Sarah MacQuiddy, a 20-year veteran of the Chamber and its president and CEO for the past 15 years. She announced her retirement in February.
