ATLANTIC CITY – The Greater Atlantic City Chamber Board of Directors has named Danielle Norcross as its new president, ushering in a new chapter of regional business advocacy, engagement and evolution for the organization.
“Danielle’s track record of building member value, aligning strategy to measurable outcomes, and elevating the public voice of business is exactly what this moment calls for,” Chairwoman Barbara DeMarco said. “She brings the energy, credibility and collaborative approach needed to be a champion for all of Atlantic County’s employers – from entrepreneurs to legacy industries – and ensure that the Chamber is out in front on the issues that truly matter.”
Norcross brings more than 13 years of executive leadership in chamber management, strategic planning and member value creation to the organization. Most recently, she served as chief strategy officer for a national association management firm, where she directed marketing, communications, membership and growth strategy for professional associations. Prior to that, as CEO of the Greater Toms River Chamber of Commerce, she led organization-wide transformation, expanded membership by 20%, and strengthened strategic partnerships – positioning the chamber as a leading voice for the business community.
“I am thrilled to join the Greater Atlantic City Chamber at such a pivotal moment,” Norcross said. “Atlantic County’s business community is expanding, diversifying, and adapting, and the Chamber must evolve in step. I look forward to partnering with our members, board and regional leaders to ensure the Chamber is a strong, strategic, and influential voice for business.”
The chamber’s appointment reflects a broader, renewed commitment to the continued evolution of the organization with a heightened focus on member engagement and proactive leadership on policy and priorities that shape economic growth in Atlantic County.
“Chambers are at their best when they are relevant, responsive and representative,” Norcross added. “Our work ahead is about continuing to build an institution that not only serves its members but speaks for them.”
To officially welcome Norcross and kick off this next phase of member engagement, the chamber will host “Building Our Future Together Networking Event” Dec. 16. Event details will be announced shortly on the chamber’s website www.acchamber.com.
Additionally, the chamber extended special thanks and gratitude to Jane Asselta, who has served as the chamber’s leadership consultant since May.
“Asselta played a pivot role in helping to ensure our operations continued seamlessly, while also guiding our search for new leadership,” DeMarco said. “We are eternally grateful for her time and service to our organization and know that she will remain a pivotal part of our organization’s history and transformative growth in the years to come.”
“I was pleased to support the Chamber during this pivotal transition period,” Asselta said. “I have dedicated my career to public advocacy, economic development, and building partnerships across the Southern New Jersey region, and hope my experience and expertise helped maintain the Chamber’s positive momentum while also looking to the future.”
