I stand on the shoulders of giants as I succeed previous Chamber Board Chairs, including Fletcher \u201cFlash\u201d Wiley, Gloria Larson, Nav Singh, John Fish, Karen Kaplan, Paul Ayoub, and most recently, Micho Spring. Micho has been an empowering Board Chair, delivering the Higher Education Leadership Council, the public call to action to businesses to diversify their Boards, leading the Mayor of Boston\u2019s transition committee, and much more. The Chamber is ready to focus on even more challenges and opportunities because of Micho and Jim\u2019s partnership.<\/p>\n<p>Greater Boston is an extraordinary region, blessed with great assets that have led to growth and prosperity. Yet, we also face profound challenges\u2014housing, transportation, public education, gun violence, economic equity and inclusion, climate change, and competitiveness\u2014that require concerted action. It is the leadership and vision of the business community\u2014our collective voice\u2014that will help ensure we address and solve the complex challenges facing our region and world.<br \/>\nMy goals during my time as Board Chair include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Focus on the highest priority problems<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Leverage the skills, resources, and leadership of the region\u2019s business community<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Partner with our Commonwealth and municipal leaders<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Commit to a goal of inclusive, sustained prosperity<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This moment calls for all of us\u2014our entire Chamber membership\u2014to step up to shape the future of our region. Jim and I, and the Board, will need your support over the next two years. Your help is critical to achieving the Chamber\u2019s purpose: Make Greater Boston the best place for all businesses and all people to thrive.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to working with you. Together, we will continue to drive forward innovation, equity, competitiveness, and prosperity that is distinctly Boston.<\/p>\n<p>Regards,<\/p>\n<p>Ronald O\u2019Hanley<br \/>\nChairman &amp; CEO<br \/>\nState Street<\/p>\n  \r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Incoming Board Chair, Ronald O&#8217;Hanley of State Street pens a letter to Boston Chamber members, including his goals for during his term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":29201,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29203","chamber-news","type-chamber-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
