When Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce officials went looking for a new president last year, their checklist was long: experience with economic development and diversification, education, a large business organization, workers’ compensation and health care plans.
They found Matt Crosson, who spent 16 years as CEO of the Long Island Association Inc., New York’s largest business organization. He had also served on the New York state board charged with restructuring K-12 educational standards.
Crosson joined the Las Vegas Chamber in April.
