Travis Valentine

President & CEO

As President & CEO of the South Baldwin Chamber of Commerce, Travis leads with a clear vision: to strengthen the regional economy by supporting businesses, building strategic partnerships, and fostering community growth. Known for his high energy, collaborative spirit, and forward-thinking approach, he is committed to advancing the Chamber’s mission and making a lasting impact across South Baldwin County.

Travis joined the Chamber in 2015 and, since stepping into the role of President & CEO in 2025, has continued to drive momentum for the organization, championing member engagement, innovation, and workforce development. He is especially passionate about helping members realize the value of Chamber involvement and connecting early career professionals to the opportunities it brings—an effort that led to his co-founding of the Lower Alabama Young Professionals (LAYP), a network designed to cultivate the next generation of local leaders.

​

Travis is a proud graduate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for Organizational Management and holds the distinction of Alabama Accredited Chamber Executive, awarded by the Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama. His commitment to professional excellence mirrors his dedication to the businesses and communities he serves.
