Leader of Fort Worth Hispanic chamber of commerce to step down, join Trinity Metro
Anette Landeros, the president and CEO of the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, will be leaving the organization to serve as chief strategy officer for Trinity Metro, the chamber announced on Wednesday, Oct. 23.
Landeros’ last day with the chamber will be De. 13; she has led the chamber for five years.
While leading the chamber, Landeros oversaw the organization’s growth and focused on increasing economic opportunities for Hispanic, minority and women-owned businesses. She recently co-signed Mayor Mattie Parker’s letter to Fort Worth ISD board members, urging them to improve students’ test scores.
“It has been an honor to serve this incredible organization and the dynamic community of businesses that make up the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce,” Landeros said in a press release announcing her departure.
Before joining the chamber, Landeros was project manager for the Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Transportation.
“Anette’s leadership has had a profound impact on the Chamber, and her legacy of collaboration, innovation, and community-building will continue to guide us forward,” said chairman of the chamber’s board, Ish Arebalos. “We are incredibly proud of her, and while we will miss her in this role, we are excited for her new opportunity with Trinity Metro.”
Details of the search for the chamber’s future leader are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
