Camber Outdoors, a non-profit organization that supports workplace inclusion, equity and diversity for 0utdoor-recreation focused organizations, announced Tiffany Smith as its new CEO, following an intensive selection process.
Most recently, she served as Chief Development Officer of Camber. In her new position, Smith will lead Camber in equipping leadership of 300-plus Fortune 100, small business and nonprofit organizations to achieve systems change.
Smith brings to Camber more than 15 years of strategic leadership experience spanning the nonprofit and for-profit sectors.

“Tiffany joined the organization with a proven track record of impact and continued the trend of success within the first year at Camber,” said Reggie Miller, co-president of Camber’s Board of Directors and Vice President, Global Chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer of McDonald’s. “She established a partner experience which has increased partner engagement by 60 percent, increased partner retention rate, diversified funding streams, recruited and managed leaders as well as enhanced communication strategies. Tiffany was poised for this promotion with her undeniable impact within our organization and within the outdoor recreation economy. Tiffany is a seasoned leader whose vision, energy and sense of purpose will drive systemic change in building more inclusive, diverse and equitable workplaces.”
Smith will execute Camber’s strategic plan, which includes these five priorities in the next three to five years:

- Catering to Camber’s Partners with new programming and initiatives
- Assessing the group’s core needs through Camber Survey System
- Creating a more diverse pipeline of professional talent in the Outdoor-Recreation industries
