Dale Steenbergen resigns to lead Wichita Chamber

Leadership change

Dale Steenbergen has announced his resignation as president and CEO of the Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce and the Wyoming State Chamber of Commerce. He is leaving Wyoming after nearly two decades in chamber leadership to lead the Wichita Chamber.

The move changes the top leadership of organizations that represent business interests in Cheyenne and across Wyoming. Steenbergen’s two titles connected the local chamber’s work in the state capital with the statewide chamber’s work on behalf of its members.

His resignation is an organizational leadership change, not a change in elected office. No candidate or election is directly connected to the announcement. The chambers are business organizations, and their executives are not chosen through a public election.

What comes next

The Greater Cheyenne Chamber and Wyoming State Chamber will determine how to manage their leadership after Steenbergen’s departure. Their next public steps may clarify who will handle the president and CEO duties during the transition and how they will choose longer-term leadership.

The Wichita Chamber will also set the course for Steenbergen’s arrival in its top position. Upcoming announcements may establish the timing of his move and the start of his work in Wichita.

For Cheyenne and statewide chamber members, the transition will center on continuity in the organizations’ operations and representation. The selection of new leadership will also determine whether the Cheyenne and statewide roles remain connected under one executive or are handled through a different arrangement.
