The Greater San Antonio Chamber announced today that community leader Pat Frost will serve as the organization’s Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, effective Dec. 2, 2026.
Frost who served as the 2025 Chairman of the Greater Chamber will serve in this interim role following the retirement of Jeff Webster, who has led the organization for the past three years. The Greater Chamber Board of Directors unanimously selected Frost at their August 31 board meeting.
“We owe a debt of gratitude to Pat for volunteering his time to serve our community in this capacity,” said Kevin C. Dinnin, Chairman of the Greater Chamber. “I can’t think of anyone better to lead the organization during this transition, as Pat has the energy and experience to build on the momentum we have created the past couple of years.”
Frost spent four decades with Frost Bank, serving as President from 1993 until his retirement in 2023. During his tenure, Frost played a significant role in the bank’s growth, overseeing retail banking, marketing, commercial lending, wealth management and insurance. At the time of his retirement, Frost Bank had grown to become one of the nation’s 50 largest banks, with approximately $48 billion in assets.
A longtime community leader, Frost has served on more than 40 nonprofit boards and has chaired many of those organizations. He is most recognized for his leadership of major sporting events and organizations that have built San Antonio’s reputation as a national sports destination, chairing the NCAA Men’s Final Four Local Organizing Committee, the Valero Alamo Bowl, the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, and San Antonio Sports.
“Pat isn’t only a community leader, he’s also a friend,” said Webster. “We’ve worked together for many years on some of the most important initiatives that have shaped our region. As I prepare for my retirement, I am pleased to know that Pat will be assuming the interim leadership of this great organization. I will be working with him over the next couple of months to ensure a smooth transition.”
“The Greater Chamber has a 132-year history of leading our business community, so it’s an honor to be a small part of continuing that legacy,” said Frost. “I look forward to partnering with our members to advocate for policies and projects that will positively impact our local military commands, infrastructure, economic development, workforce and quality of life.”
The chamber’s Board of Directors will lead a comprehensive process to identify the organization’s next President and CEO. Dinnin emphasized that the chamber staff will continue to advance the organization’s priorities and serve its members throughout the transition.
Additional information regarding the search for the chamber’s next President and CEO will be shared throughout the process.
