A former vice-president of the Mayforth Group, Donovan-Boyle has also served as executive director of Ocean State Tall Ships and as campaign manager for former Rhode Island Secretary of State Ralph Mollis.
Doyle will take over at the chamber on June 15, succeeding executive director Jody J. Sullivan, who is retiring.
