“We are excited to have Kerry’s and Priya’s voice at the table,” says Jordan Knox, Chamber President. “Their backgrounds really compliment the group we have, and given the challenges we are seeing in the business and political environment, we are determined to do everything we can to help Penticton’s business community and local economy.”
In addition to Knox, a number of Directors have also signed on for another term, including Vice Presidents’ Marlene Trenholm and Harpreet Sidhu, and Past President Nicole Clark. The other half of the Board now enters the second of their two-year term, and include Dan Arbeau, Cherry Fernandez, Tanya Behardien, Janine Cumberland, Kori Iceton, Ian Lindsay, Pius Omene and Shane Squires.
