Toni Cooper was recently named Interim President and CEO of the Greater Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce. Cooper began serving in her new position earlier this month.

Cooper harbors extensive experience in Chamber operations, such as event coordination, accounting and financial operations, and sales skills. Before stepping into her new role, Cooper was the Chamber and Fayetteville’s department of Economic Development’s Office Manager. This position allowed her to form many valuable connections within the community. She also fulfilled several roles within the Military Affairs Council, an organization adjacent to GFC that maintains a close relationship with Fort Bragg and Pope Army Airfield leadership.

“I am excited to be working with the Chamber, focusing on our members, and continuing to grow and make an impact within the community,” Cooper shared in a press release. “This organization is a significant part of business growth, and as such we’re dedicated to seeing all our members prosper.”

Chair of the Chamber’s Board Tammy Thurman warmly welcomed Cooper aboard and spoke highly of her talents. “Mrs. Cooper brings more than 15 years of chamber experience. With her exceptional background and expertise, she is uniquely positioned to represent every stakeholder in Cumberland County,” Thurman said in a press release. “We are pleased to welcome Toni back to Fayetteville and feel that her leadership and proven track record will complement the Chamber’s staff and keep the organization on a path of success and ever-increasing achievements.”
