Ted Townsend has resigned from his position as CEO of the Greater Memphis Chamber, according to Action News 5 (WMC NBC 5). The departure marks a significant leadership change for one of Memphis’s most influential business organizations, which plays a crucial role in economic development and business advocacy across the region. Townsend’s exit comes at a pivotal time for Memphis as the city continues working to attract new businesses and support existing enterprises, particularly those serving the area’s predominantly Black community. The Chamber has yet to announce interim leadership plans or a timeline for selecting Townsend’s replacement, leaving questions about the organization’s immediate direction and priorities.
