There is new management at the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce.
Dione Chambers will begin duties as the new general manager July 17, taking over from Dan Rogers who is pursuing new opportunities.
“I’m excited to join the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce and work with such a strong team,” said Chambers.
“I look forward to getting to know the membership and working with community stakeholders and partners within the region to continue developing a vibrant business environment.”
Chambers has been the executive director of the Fort Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce for the past six years. Her achievements include receiving the Alberta Chamber of the Year award in 2013 and recently the Alberta Chamber Executive of the Year award for 2016.
“We’re thrilled to have found someone within the chamber network,” said Dauna Kennedy Grant, GVCC president.
“The skills and passion for the chamber environment that Dione has demonstrated for the past six years are exactly what we need in Vernon to help our chamber continue to make a difference for its members.”
