On July 8 2021 at the Annual Membership Banquet, Nathan Smith was introduced as the new Executive Director for the Brownwood Area Chamber Commerce.

Nathan Smith joins the Brownwood Area Chamber of Commerce staff after more than 10 years of working with non-profit organizations. Most recently he was Associate Director of Field Operations for Texas Farm Bureau. In that capacity, he worked closely with staff, volunteers, elected officials at all levels, and stakeholder groups to advance policy and membership development for the largest agricultural organization in the state. Before moving into that role, Nathan worked as a field representative for TFB in west and central Texas where his focus was relationship development and agricultural policy. He has experience lobbying for member-driven initiatives in Austin and Washington and coordinating public relations campaigns.

Smith is a Tarleton State University graduate and has a professional background in agricultural journalism and government relations. Nathan is married to the former Kara Kelton and they live on their family ranch near May and enjoy raising livestock along with their four young children.

Nathan Smith’s first official day is July 14, 2021.
