Meet Our Team
The Gahanna Area Chamber staff is committed to providing the best customer service for our members. We are problem solvers dedicated to fulfilling the Chamber’s mission and vision.
Brad Fisher, President
Brad Fisher is the President of the GAC and is also involved as a board member of Visit Gahanna as well as The Creekside District Alliance. Brad joined the Chamber board in 2018 and took on the official role as President upon the retirement of Leslee Blake who had served as the organization’s President for 20 years.
Brad in an entrepreneur at heart – when he’s not working on Chamber initiatives, you’ll find him working hard to grow his business, C-Suites Executive Offices at Creekside; but more likely, you’ll find him teaching people how to fish through The Go Fish Academy – a business he started to help people of all ages get outdoors and enjoy the sport of fishing!
Laurel Naegele, Operations Manager
Laurel Naegele is the Operations Manager of the Chamber. She is responsible for membership management, event planning, marketing and chamber communications. She is an energetic individual whose hobby is running – if she’s not working on Chamber stuff, you’ll find her running all over Gahanna and even competing in marathons and trail runs all over Ohio.
