Mark T. Jessee, board chair of the Thousand Oaks-Westlake Village Regional Chamber of Commerce, recently announced the retirement of longtime president and CEO Janet Levett effective Jan. 30.

Levett served as Chamber president and CEO for the last 10 years and, prior to that, led the Westlake Village Chamber of Commerce for 10 years. Both Chambers eventually merged and grew under Levett's leadership.

The search for a new president and CEO will begin immediately.
