Dallas Chamber President Brad Cheves Addresses Breakfast Group

Dallas Regional Chamber President and CEO Brad Cheves with Douglas Newby at the Dallas Breakfast Group meeting.
Brad Cheves and Douglas Newby about to depart after a splendid talk by Brad. I have known and admired Brad Cheves for years and it is fun to see him in his current role where he will be a great success.

Brad Cheves is universally admired for the work he did over 30 years as Executive Vice President of Development at SMU. When he was selected to lead the Dallas Regional Chamber, he brought with him the momentum of SMU — momentum he is now combining with that of the Chamber and the city of Dallas itself. SMU is in the process of creating an Office of Dallas to further strengthen its ties to the city, while the Dallas Regional Chamber continues to draw on the knowledge, leadership, and support that emanate from SMU and its community. His remarks to community leaders at the Dallas Breakfast Group were insightful, optimistic, and very well received.
