The head of the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission will serve on the executive of the national body for economic developers.
Corie Griffiths, who was appointed COEDC director in 2016, was recently named secretary for the Economic Developers Association of Canada.
“It is a compliment to Corie as an economic development professional and to the Regional District of Central Okanagan as her employer for her to have been chosen by her peers to represent EDAC members in this capacity,” EDAC said in a press release.
Griffiths has been with the COEDC since 2007, becoming the organization’s manager in 2015.
“Corie has shown outstanding leadership as the director of economic development and bylaw services,” RDCO chair Gail Given said. “Economic development is one of the identified strategic priorities of the regional board.
“Considering the pandemic’s impact on many of our Central Okanagan businesses, her involvement in the EDAC will benefit them, the Regional Economic Recovery Task Force and the economic development commission as we move forward.”
