David Wood has been named the new Board Chairman of the West Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

Wood made the announcement Tuesday afternoon on Facebook.

“So proud/happy/honored to have been elected by my peers as the new Board Chairman of the West Hollywood Chamber of Commerce,” Wood wrote. “Although I rarely take myself seriously, I take this position and the City of West Hollywood very seriously and hope I can be half the Chair as my predecessors, Nick Rimedio and Keith Kaplan.I will take this on with my mentor and dear friend, Chamber Executive Director Genevieve Morrill. Buckle up Gen, here we go.”

He succeeds Nick Rimedio in the position.

Wood, the former Vice Chairman, takes the reins at a crucial time for the WeHo business community as a controversial minimum wage ordinance begins and a new roster of City Councilmembers lines the dais.

He has a long history of volunteering for many local organizations, including Labor Day LA where he served as its President in 1995. He also participated in the California AIDS LifeCycle, serves as the president of his homeowners association and was a founding boardmember of Melrose Action 2021.

How about a bi-weekly post here from the C of C?? We need a closer connection between citizens and local business.

Congratulations to a smart, honest and effective leader. May he find a less combative enemy in the new city council makeup. (Not holding my breath.)

You sound jealous of a handsome, successful man with blue eyes and a warm confident smile that says, I am proud of who I am. If that’s the first words out of your mouth, it just shows a bitter envy you have for people you can’t be.
