Bill Chambers is an
experienced executive with high level management expertise. He is a
proven leader and has impressive collaboration skills. Bill is able to
initiate and manage large multi-level programs utilizing public and private
partnerships. Bill is a visionary who was a founding member of The
League, an organization that has a mission which includes education, networking
and advocacy for the facility management industry.
There is likely no one who
has had as much involvement with The League as Bill. In 1997, he, along
with two other individuals, was a founding member. He was instrumental in
forming and incorporating the organization in 1999. He has been a member
of the Board of Directors since the organization was officially created.
Bill served as Chairman of the Board from 2004 to 2012. During that time,
The League grew substantially and many of the benefits enjoyed by the members
today were created.
Over the years, Bill has made
numerous presentations at The League’s Annual Symposium as well as served as
moderator for several of The League’s bi-monthly Forums. Bill was a driving
force behind the consulting services offered by The League, created the
brochure to promote the program and continues to be the primary liaison when such
services are needed. There are very few Annual Symposiums that Bill
missed over the years.
Due to his vast experience,
Bill has been an invaluable resource when looking for advice from both the
facility perspective as well as for issues concerning The League.
Bill left his position with
The Show Place Arena and Prince Georgia’s Equestrian Center six years ago, but
due to his passion for both the industry and The League, Bill remains active in
the organization and serves as an Ex-Officio member of the Board of
Directors.
It is no exaggeration to say The
League is what it is today as a result of the involvement, leadership and
vision of Bill Chambers. There would be no better person to receive the
first ever
Hall of Fame Award, another League program created by Bill!
