PENTICTON – Penticton & Wine Country Chamber of Commerce is now accepting nominations for the 2016/2017 Board of Directors.
Have you considered being a part of your local Chamber team? Volunteer board positions are an incredible learning opportunity and a clear path to making a difference for business in your community. If that’s your passion and you are a Penticton Chamber member, then submit your application today. Nominees will be accepted until March 16th and the annual AGM luncheon will take place on March 30th at noon.
There is a new outlook at the Penticton Chamber with a distinct focus on member value. Following the pillars of Advocacy, Benefits, Connections, Distinction and Education we’ll be planning events and programs around the concept of giving members the tools they need to bring their business to the next level.
As 2016 unfolds we already have a few successful networking events under our belt including our first ever Apex Mountain Member Mixer. With 130+ members registered this proved to be so popular we have now dubbed it an annual event.
The Penticton Chamber will bounce into spring with a big relocation/ grand opening event as well as a pampering luncheon for Administrative Professionals. This luncheon will feature plenty of goodies from local spas to spoil the men and women who are the front line smiles of business in Penticton. Keynote speaker Linda Edgecombe is sure to spark some laughter, engage, and inspire.
Leading into fall you’ll want to mark your calendars for the Cherry Lane Shopping Centre’s Fall Get Back to Biz Small Business Trade Show showcasing Chamber Members only on Sat/Sun September 24th and 25th.
And what are you going to wear for our black tie affair? The 29th Annual Penticton Business Excellence Awards take place October 15th, brought to you by Gateway Casinos and Entertainment. Excitement is in the air with the new Penticton Chamber team. With over 15 award categories for 2016, this will be an event you don’t want to miss.
