Jack Miller, chair of the board of directors of Morris County Chamber of Commerce, has announced that Paul Boudreau, the chamber’s president, will retire effective Dec. 31. The chamber board has retained a search firm and formed a Search Committee to secure Boudreau’s replacement.
President of the chamber since 2008, Boudreau led the effort these past 10 years to grow the chamber from 660 members to nearly 900 today.
As chamber president he has served in leadership roles with a number of state and local organizations, including the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC); the New Jersey State Military Installation Task Force; Opportunity New Jersey; the Morris County Airport Advisory Committee; the Somerset Hills YMCA; Tri-County Scholarship Fund; and the Mental Health Association of New Jersey.
Prior to joining the Morris County Chamber of Commerce Boudreau
spent 24 years with Honeywell. He served as vice president state and
corporate relations, responsible for state and corporate relations, North
America. He also served for six years as executive director of the
Honeywell Foundation and was a member of the company’s Political
Action Committee board for 10 years.
“His dynamic leadership style has been instrumental in making the
chamber a vital resource and advocate for businesses in Morris County,” said Miller, president and CEO of Solix, Inc. “He has become recognized by business and political leaders across the state as a pragmatic voice in the important discussions impacting our economic future.”
Boudreau said, “I am very grateful to our board, staff, elected officials
and all members of the chamber for their support and collaboration over the last decade. Together we’ve built an organization that is focused on adding value for our members and committed to economic growth and prosperity for Morris County and our state.”
A Search Committee has been formed by the chamber and the Nonprofit Search Group of New Vernon has been retained to facilitate the search process.
