Running a Chamber of Commerce might sound like all boardrooms and business cards, but Pat Monacelli brings a lot more to the table. As CEO and President of the Broomfield Area Chamber, Monacelli is busy building business connections, championing entrepreneurs, and steering community growth. His real secret? Leading with heart, authenticity, and the occasional karaoke night.
“For me, it’s always been about people,” Monacelli says. With a career that includes stints as a news anchor, nonprofit fundraiser, and soccer coach, he's made a life out of building relationships that matter. Born with a mic in his hand, Monacelli has always had a knack for connecting with people and telling their stories. “When the Chamber opportunity came along, it just clicked. I get to help businesses grow and make Broomfield even better.”
Success, for Monacelli, isn’t about spreadsheets—it’s about impact. He measures wins by thriving businesses, energized entrepreneurs, and a community that shows up for each other. “We’re in an incredible spot geographically and economically. The future here is really exciting.”
That’s why building a vibrant, connected business community is at the heart of everything he does. Strong businesses don't just create jobs—they fuel local pride, support schools, sponsor events, and make Broomfield a place where people want to put down roots. A thriving business scene lifts the entire community, and Monacelli knows that when businesses succeed, everyone wins.
At the Chamber, Monacelli champions both powerhouse corporations and fresh startups, offering strategic partnerships, mentorship programs, and plenty of opportunities to collaborate. His leadership philosophy? Think The Go-Giver: give more than you take, stay authentic, and focus on building real, lasting relationships.
Off the clock, Monacelli is all about family time, craft beers, classic Adidas sneakers, and jamming with his band, The Lap Dawgs. His style motto? Comfort first—because people do their best work when they feel like themselves.
Rooted in lessons learned from his parents—kindness, logic, and chasing what makes your heart full—Pat Monacelli is helping Broomfield businesses dream bigger, connect deeper, and have a little fun along the way.
