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

Chamber Chair 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.
