WASHINGTON, DC — The U.S. Chamber of Commerce welcomed seven new members to its Association Committee of 100 (C100). Of those seven, Eric Dell, president and CEO of the American Bakers Association, was included.

For more than 60 years, leading association executives have gathered under the C100 banner to network, build partnerships and discuss current issues, representing the interests of their association members and enhancing the U.S. Chamber’s pro-business advocacy. Each member strengthens the U.S. Chamber’s efforts to support business growth across the country.

“Founded in 1958, the Chamber’s Committee of 100 has a well-established reputation as one of the most distinguished appointments in the association community,” said Sara Armstrong, VP and managing director of federation relations and coalition partnerships at the U.S. Chamber. “These members reflect our continued commitment to naming high-profile leaders to serve on this important committee.”

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world’s largest business federation representing more than 3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors and regions, as well as state and local chambers and industry associations.
