Announcing Our New Board Chair

by Maria S. Salinas

Every January, the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce welcomes a new Board Chair and recognizes the accomplishments of the outgoing Board Chair. 2021 was a year like no other, yet, under the leadership of 2021 Board Chair Raul A. Anaya and the members of the Board of Directors, the Chamber reached new heights. Raul led the efforts to ensure the Chamber supported the business community through the pandemic as well as the formation of The CEO Council, an advisory council to the Chamber, which brings together CEOs to unify the business community. Raul said it best, “The need for a strong rebound and equitable recovery of California’s economy is critical to the future of our region, an issue so important it brought together more than one hundred CEOs to engage and contribute.” We are grateful to Raul A. Anaya for his dedication and commitment to the L.A. Area Chamber.

As we turn to a new year, we are proud to announce the Chamber’s 2022 Board Chair, Mark Louchheim, Chairman and CEO of Bobrick Washroom Equipment, Inc., a company which has been a member of the Chamber since 1950.  

As the Chamber enters its 134th year and under Mark’s leadership, we look forward to engaging the business community for continued economic recovery and the upcoming elections which will have a tremendous impact on our region.

As we continue to advocate for a prosperous and equitable future for the Los Angeles region, Mark will be celebrated at our upcoming Inaugural, themed Resilience. Growth. Transformation. Join us in our journey, as we champion A Thriving Region for All.
