October 4, 2010 (San Diego’s East County) – Cliff Diamond, former El Cajon Police Chief, has been named interim president and chief executive officer of the San Diego East County Chamber of Commerce. He will replace Mike Cully, whose departure was announced in late September.
“We thank Mike for his service to the Chamber and to the businesses of East County over the last two-plus years,” said Chairman Roger Roberts, “and we wish him well in the future. We are pleased that Cliff Diamond will step into the chamber’s lead roles on an interim basis, while we search for a permanent executive,” he added. “He brings significant organizational and management experience to the Chamber during this transitional period.”
Cully did not return a phone call, nor have Chamber officials commented on the reason for the change in leadership. Cully’s Facebook page indicates he remains in San Diego working on his Masters in Business Administration degree at San Diego State University, where he expects to graduate in 2011.
