Kelowna’s Chamber of Commerce has a new president and a full slate of new directors.
Carmen Sparg, of Silver Lining Management Consulting Inc, will take over as the Chamber of Commerce’s president from Tom Dyas, who will remain on the board as past president.
“It is an honour to take over as President of the Chamber,” stated Sparg. “Following in Tom’s footsteps won’t be easy. He was very active on a number of files, championing the needs of our members and the business community wherever he could. I am excited to work with the new board which have diverse backgrounds, plenty of experience and some new blood that will help shape the Chamber’s future growth.”
The Chamber of Commerce took part in several advocacy efforts between 2017 and 2018, including the proposed federal corporate tax changes, the provincial increases in the minimum wage and new taxes being introduced by the provincial government.
Along with the Chamber’s new president, four new directors were introduced following online voting.
- Dan Price, CFO, Dilworth Quality Homes/Emil Anderson Construction
- Andrew Brunton, Partner, Pushor Mitchell LLP
- Jenelle Hynes, Business Development & Customer Service Manager, Pacific Coastal Airlines
- John Devitt, Manager, Business Development & Community Relations, Kelowna International Airport
The announcements were made at the Chamber of Commerce's 112th annual general meeting.
