Anne Conroy-Baiter

Ms. Conroy-Baiter, a native of western New York and graduate of prestigious Tufts University outside of Boston, has spent the past decade leading Junior Achievement of the Space Coast, a local nonprofit organization that inspires and prepares young people for success with skills in entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and workforce readiness. Her prior work experience includes 8 years leading a regional arts council, during which time she founded a federally funded business incubator, as well as several management positions in the marketing field. Ms. Conroy-Baiter is also an accomplished practicing artist and proud mother of three Brevard Public Schools educated daughters (including two graduates now attending the University of Florida). In addition to her professional and personal endeavors, Ms. Conroy-Baiter has contributed to the Space Coast community as a volunteer with numerous organizations, including serving on the Boards of both the Melbourne Regional Chamber and the Economic Development Commission.

Reflecting on this experience and looking forward to her next chapter with the Chamber, Ms. Conroy-Baiter shared the following: “The moment my daughters and I arrived on the Space Coast ten years ago, I fell in love with everything it has to offer—the people, the culture, the beach, the lagoon, and the thriving business community. Every aspect captured my heart and intellect in ways I’ve never experienced before. My career has always been fueled by a mission to enhance and enrich the communities we call home, so my commitment to making the Space Coast even more successful and vibrant as we navigate growth and change is unwavering. Advancing to the Melbourne Regional Chamber is a natural extension of this mission, building on the successes and relationships I’ve cultivated during my time at Junior Achievement. I’m excited and eager to get started with the board and exceptional team.”
