Fort Myers chamber president and CEO resigns position

Brian Hamman, president and CEO of the Greater Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce for a little over a year, has resigned — effective immediately. 

Hamman is leaving the organization to “focus on his family as his father navigates a serious health condition,” according to a statement. Hamman is also a Lee County commissioner for District 4. He will retain that position, the release states. 

“This has been a difficult decision as I’ve valued the relationships that have been built with our members, our supportive board of directors and our hardworking chamber team,” Hamman says in the statement. “Serving as the president and CEO of the chamber has been a blessing in my life, and I’m proud of all that we’ve accomplished in the past year. I know that the chamber will continue to thrive under the leadership of the board and staff during this transition.”
