“We are so lucky to have such a strong and supportive board. A chamber cannot run properly without a good, collaborative, and invested board, and we are so lucky to have that at our organization. We now have 11 board members from all different sectors, from small to large businesses, and I am so proud to be a gender-balanced board—something all chambers strive to have.

The board are all volunteers, but they treat this like their second business. They care about the trajectory of this organization, and because of their dedication, we have grown faster than I ever imagined. I am so grateful to work with all of the board members. I wake up every day feeling lucky to be surrounded by really good people who care about this community.”

“The Ridge Meadows Chamber of Commerce has been on an incredible upward trajectory for the past few years. We have solidified our place as the voice of business in both Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Maintaining consistency at the executive level for another year, while also welcoming new voices to our board, allows us to achieve the right mix between continuity and fresh perspective. I believe that this combination is crucial for our organization as it ensures that we keep building on our successes while staying responsive to the business community.”
