New PG County Chamber CEO must navigate a changed political climate

Having assumed executive leadership of the Prince George’s County Chamber of Commerce, Alexander Austin faces several challenges, including helping the organization find its post-Covid footing and discerning and navigating a changed political context with a newly elected county council. Austin, a Prince George’s native, began his new job Dec. 19, succeeding David Harrington, who died suddenly in September, having helmed the chamber for 11 years and only just begun a new job for Kaiser Permanente Mid-Atlantic Region.
