The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce has a new president.
Robin Cardew, who recently served as vice-president, has been elevated to the role of president. He replaced Krystin Kempton, who has completed her tenure and will now hold the past president title.
Cardew, who is a chartered professional accountant, was elected on Wednesday during the chamber’s annual general meeting, at which time a new board of directors was appointed as well.
Deb White is the new vice-president after serving most recently as secretary-treasurer. Ryan Mackiewich, meanwhile, has moved from director to secretary-treasurer.
Returning directors are Jonathan Blais (Vegpro International), Scot Durward (Tolko) and Darrin Taylor (Axis Intervention Services), while the newcomers to the board are Kelly Kedrosky (KJB Digital), Shane Kohlman (Freshii), Michael Molnar (Restoration Lands), Kennedy Raine (Sundial Lighting) and Kari Sargeant (Castanet).
Retiring board members are Deanna Beaudoin, Roger Lamoureux, Leif Lennie, Aly Pain and Greg Stevens.
“Deanna, Roger, Leif, Aly and Greg have contributed significantly to the success of the chamber during their tenure and they will definitely be missed,” Cardew said in a press release. “We wish them well with their future endeavours.”
