Westfield welcomes a new leader to the forefront of its Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Westfield Association.
Courtney Albright, a native of a small suburb outside of Chicago, assumed the role of president in December, bringing with her a wealth of experience and a commitment to fostering a vibrant and inclusive business community.
“I am humbled by the trust and responsibility placed upon me to lead the influential organizations who play a vital role in our community, serving as a catalyst for economic growth and development,” Albright says.
In her role as president of the Westfield Chamber of Commerce, Albright’s vision goes beyond mere administrative duties.
“As president, I will strive to lead by example, inspire others, and create an inclusive and supportive environment for all members,” she says, outlining a commitment to not only oversee, but actively contribute to the growth and success of Westfield’s businesses.
Albright’s journey to Westfield began with her education at Butler University, where she not only gained knowledge, but also met her husband, Nathan. Their shared vision for the future led them to make Westfield their permanent home in 2015.
She previously served as the director of partner and member engagement, and was a marketing and business development executive primarily in the health care and housing sectors.
Albright’s leadership style is rooted in the values she holds dear – inclusivity, support and inspiration. She envisions a chamber that not only represents the interests of its members, but also actively works towards creating an environment where businesses, regardless of size or industry, can thrive.
“I’ve always considered myself a servant leader and someone who is dedicated to supporting the growth and prosperity of our city and businesses,” she says.
Education and advocacy are at the core of the chamber’s mission, actively promoting diversity and inclusion within the organization.
“Through workshops, seminars and networking events, we will continue to enhance opportunities available for continuous learning and professional development,” Albright says. “Regardless of a business’s size or background, it deserves equal opportunities to thrive.”
Albright enjoys traveling, spending time with her husband and 8-month-old daughter, Evelyn, and her furry companion, Brewer, a Golden Retriever-Chow mix.
Additionally, she actively engages with various community outreach initiatives in the community she serves.
“As president, I am committed to serving the needs of our members and the broader business community,” Albright says. “I want to embrace the challenges and seize the opportunities to work towards a future of growth and prosperity.”
