Clint Morse Named Chairman of Virginia Chamber of Commerce1.27.2010
 RICHMOND, VA - The Virginia Chamber of Commerce today named Clinton Morse, an attorney and shareholder for LeClairRyan in Roanoke, as Chairman of its Board of Directors. In his new role, Morse will lead the Virginia Chamber’s aggressive advocacy efforts to spur job creation and economic growth in the Commonwealth. He succeeds Dorcas Helfant-Browning, CEO and Managing Partner of Coldwell Banker Professional, Realtors in Virginia Beach.
“Clint adds a wealth of knowledge and experience to the leadership of the Virginia Chamber as we work to renew our state economy,” said Hugh Keogh, president and CEO. “As one of Virginia’s leading labor and employment attorneys, he is a passionate and highly effective proponent of a pro-business environment that will create economic growth and well paying jobs.
Morse was elected at the Chamber’s annual meeting held on January 27 in Richmond. Whittington Clement, Partner and the Head of the Virginia Government Relations Team for Hunton & Williams in Richmond, was elected First Vice Chair. During the meeting, the Virginia Chamber also released its 2010 Business Agenda which outlines the major concerns and priorities of the business community. Investing in transportation infrastructure, aggressively marketing Virginia’s attractiveness as a business location and tourist destination, and the shortage of technically skilled workers topped the list.
Morse joined the board in 2004 and also served as Chair of the Chamber’s Management Relations Committee. He has since served as First Vice Chair and Vice Chair for Southwest Virginia on the Chamber’s executive committee.
At LeClairRyan, Morse focuses his practice on the representation of unionized companies through collective bargaining negotiations, grievance and arbitrations, and National Labor Relations Board matters for national and international companies with operations across the United States. In addition to labor law, his practice includes a broad range of employment and wage and hour law matters. Founded in 1988, LeClairRyan is one of Virginia’s fastest growing law firms with offices in Alexandria, Blacksburg, Charlottesville, Glen Allen, Norfolk, Richmond (3), Roanoke, Virginia Beach and Williamsburg.
The Virginia Chamber of Commerce is the Commonwealth’s leading advocate for business and speaks for business leaders in every economic sector who share a common understanding that a strong business climate is the key to Virginia’s prosperity.
