Spurgeon has served as President and CEO of the Greater Jackson Chamber since 2009, leading economic development efforts that have resulted in billions of dollars in capital investment and thousands of new jobs for the region. Throughout his career, he has championed partnerships between education and industry to ensure Tennessee’s workforce is prepared to meet the needs of existing employers and future economic growth.
