Congratulations, Todd! We look forward to continuing our partnership. Best of luck!

We interrupt our regularly scheduled Monday programming to introduce you to the new president and CEO of the Redding Chamber of Commerce... Todd Jones!

Todd is a North State Native, raised in Weaverville. He loves Shasta County and for the past 8 years has served as president of the Shasta EDC. After high school, he joined the US Marine Corps and served as a Topographical Intelligence Specialist, serving primarily in Washington DC, and Okinawa, Japan. He then went on to Humboldt State University where he earned a Political Science Degree. Todd also holds an MBA from Western Governors University.

Todd worked for Congressman Wally Herger in his Redding Field Office until his retirement. Upon his retirement, Todd was selected to attend the Coro Center for Civic Leadership’s Fellowship in Public Affairs and worked in the San Francisco Bay Area with a multitude of different entities. After the Coro Fellowship, he returned to Redding with his wife Ericka to start a family and now is the proud father of three boys, Hunter, Zach, and Tanner.

Help us give him a warm, chamber welcome!! We're thrilled to have him!
