'Michigan Matters' Spotlight: Detroit Economic Club's Next Chapter

Beth Chappell was a high level sales and marketing executive when she took over the reins of the storied Detroit Economic Club – one of the most prestigious speakers stage in the nation.

Chappell, DEC President & CEO, planned to stay a few years but spent 15 years in a job she loved.

She is moving on as she returns to her roots as executive chairman of RediMinds, a technology firm she launched with her son-in-law.

Steve Grigorian, a former sales and marketing executive who joined Chappell 14 years ago as Chief Operating Officer of the club, also loved the business organization.

Which made Grigorian the perfect choice as the new President & CEO of the Economic Club following an extensive search. Grigorian took over the top job Dec. 1
