Powell is general manager of real estate at Plum Creek, the nation’s largest private landowner for forest products and mineral extraction. He will have a year-long term as one of 12 people in the Regional Chair Program.

“Plum Creek is committed to investing the time and resources necessary to support the Florida Chamber’s initiatives to make Florida the No. 1 place to work and live,” Powell said in a prepared statement, adding that his appointment is an “opportunity to help secure Florida’s future.”

Chamber Chairman Steve Knopik, president and CEO of Bealls, appointed Powell to work with North Central Florida area business and legislative leaders to help create “the most competitive business environment” statewide.
