PRESIDENT AND CEO, VIRGINIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, RICHMOND
Virginia Business// August 29, 2024//
A former state secretary of commerce and trade, DuVal has led the Virginia Chamber of Commerce for 14 years, during which time the business advocacy organization has grown from around 1,000 members to more than 29,000.
DuVal and the chamber recently released the Blueprint Virginia 2030 plan, a strategy for positioning the commonwealth to maintain its rankings as one of the best places to do business in the United States. The plan’s objectives include improving broadband access, encouraging investment in transportation infrastructure and bolstering the number of health care professionals.
In January, the chamber partnered with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield to launch the WiseChoice Healthcare Alliance, creating a consortium for small business owners to purchase affordable health insurance for their employees.
Before leading the Virginia Chamber, DuVal put in eight years at Kaufman & Canoles Consulting. He also is a former mayor of Newport News. He earned his bachelor’s degree from James Madison University and his law degree from American University.
