Paul Pomeroy '88 Named Chairman of the Board of New Castle County Chamber of Commerce

“Paul brings a depth of knowledge to the County Chamber that is going to further strengthen our advocacy for a strong and stable economic environment in New Castle County. We’re delighted to welcome him as our chair,” said New Castle County Chamber of Commerce President Mark Kleinschmidt. Pomeroy has been with ab+c since 1999 and provides strategic counsel to agency clients in addition to managerial support. Before joining ab+c, he was a senior communications consultant for a DC-based consulting firm that specializes in marketing communication strategy. More recently, he served as national director of a DC-/Delaware-based non-partisan education and lobbying organization.

The chairman’s role isn’t Pomeroy’s first venture into public service. Born and raised in Delaware, he served three terms as an elected member of Newark City Council, stepping down after his final term. During his time on Council, Paul focused on business and economic development issues, founding the Greater Newark Network and the newly formed Greater Newark Area Economic Development Partnership. Pomeroy’s commitment to improving the community can be seen through his involvement with organizations such as Goodwill Industries of Delaware and Delaware County, the Friends of the Newark Free Library and the Delaware Humane Association.

Pomeroy received a Bachelor of Sciences degree in marketing from Georgetown University and holds a master’s degree from the George Washington University School of Business and Public Policy.
