African American Chamber of Commerce of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware (AACC) welcomed a new leader in Regina A. Hairston in the last few days of 2020. The org had been without a president and CEO since Donavan West left his role this summer.

AACC’s board of directors chose Hairston to lead the organization after an extensive search, The Philadelphia Tribune reported. She brings more than 20 years of senior management experience to the position, including strategic fundraising and partnership development. She recently served as chief deputy register at the Philadelphia Register of Wills, where she led the COVID-19 pandemic response in instituting virtual service delivery of probate and marriage licenses.

“Regina has a wealth of senior government, public and private sector leadership experience making her the ideal candidate for the position,” AACC Board Chairman Steven Scott Bradley said in a news release. “She is a results driven leader who has built her career on advocating on behalf of diverse constituencies and we are beyond confident that she will help our members navigate this uncertain time.”
