For women CEOs in Blair County, Amy Bradley’s leadership in neighboring Cambria County offers a familiar challenge: making a community’s strengths harder to overlook.

As president and CEO of the Cambria Regional Chamber in Johnstown, Bradley has made local business stories central to her work.

Her recognition among Pennsylvania’s leading women executives in 2026 reflects a career built on communication and community involvement.

Bradley joined the chamber in 2018 after 18 years at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center, where she worked in marketing, communications and public affairs.

Before that, she worked in radio and television news, developing an instinct for finding people and projects worth a closer look.

That background shapes her approach to a region where frustration about the future can sometimes overshadow what is going right.

Through a weekly Good News Friday video, Bradley highlights businesses and other positive developments around the Johnstown area.

The shift from reporting on the community to advocating for it gives her an unusually direct way to use those skills.

Supporters describe her as a hands-on leader who takes time to encourage businesses and help people connect.

For entrepreneurs, that attention can matter: being seen and understood is often part of building confidence in a place.

Bradley’s work also extends beyond the chamber through community service and teaching public relations at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown.

She has remained involved with local revitalization efforts, bringing a storyteller’s perspective to the difficult work of building momentum.

Her example has relevance across the county line, even though the chamber she leads serves Cambria County, not Blair County.

Both communities know the value of leaders who can promote local businesses without pretending every challenge has been solved.

Bradley has said she wants to keep learning and has no immediate plans to retire from work she enjoys.

For women CEOs watching from Blair County, her path shows how experience in one field can become a commitment to lifting up an entire community.
