“The USIBC is a part of the Chamber, and the Chamber does not plan to transition it anywhere,” Donahue wrote in the strongly worded letter. Donahue went on to announce that USIBC president Mukesh Aghi had left last month and that the chamber had launched a search for his successor. Khush Choksy, a senior vice president at the chamber, will serve as interim president until then. Aghi quit late last month, the day 29 members of the USIBC board voted to split with the chamber. The chamber was also keen to host Pence but at a separate event and the USIBC beat the chamber to it.
