The U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced Tuesday that Suzanne Clark will become the next chief executive officer of the country’s largest business lobbying organization, the first woman to hold the position in the business lobby’s 109-year history.

Clark replaces Thomas J. Donohue, 83, who led the organization for 24 years and built up the Chamber financially and politically during his tenure.

Clark, who currently serves as the president of the U.S. Chamber, will take over effective March 11. Her ascension has long been expected and was confirmed Tuesday by Chamber Board Chair Christopher Lofgren.

“Suzanne Clark’s extensive experience through ever increasing responsibilities during her more than 16 years at the Chamber, combined with her ambitious vision and ongoing work to strengthen the U.S. Chamber of Commerce make her the resounding choice to lead the organization into the future,” Lofgren said in a statement. “On behalf of all the board leaders who have been working on this multiyear succession process, we are profoundly grateful to Tom Donohue for his leadership, passion for this organization, and commitment to free enterprise over the past 24 years.”

Donohue made enormous investments in com

munications and political organizing at the Chamber. When he took over, he turned the organization in a decidedly Republican direction, advocating in national ad buys and local grass-roots operations for GOP candidates. During the Trump administration, though, Donohue ran into controversy after he broke that longtime Republican alliance.
