The Team

Introducing your management team:

The Strategic Direction of the Chamber of Commerce is set by the Board of Directors in conjunction with the Executive Director. In addition, the Board has the general charge and control of the policies, administration and finances of the Chamber. Board members are elected by the members at large, usually serve a 3-year term, and they can be re-elected for one further 3-year term. The Executive Director is hired by the Executive Committee with Board approval. The Executive Director is responsible for implementing the directives of the Board, creating an annual work plan, annual budget, facilitating the work of the committees and managing the daily operations of the Chamber as required. The full details for the respective responsibilities are in the approved Bylaws.
