It was an honour to officially sign my oath of office this week at the AGM and formally step into the role of Chair of the Halifax Chamber of Commerce, working with our wonderful Board of Directors and our new President and CEO, Don Bureaux. This is an exciting new chapter, and I am thrilled to be part of the Chamber. We connect our local businesses, advocate for businesses of all sizes, champion economic growth, and help shape a thriving future for our region. Congratulations to Katherine Risley on stepping into the role of Vice Chair. Her experience and commitment will be a tremendous asset to the Chamber and its members. A sincere thank you to Joanne Bernard for her outstanding service as outgoing Chair. She leaves a remarkable legacy and certainly big shoes to fill. I am excited for the next year!
