EPISODE SUMMARY

Fiona Famulak is the new President and CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce, an organization representing 36,000 businesses and 125 Chambers of Commerce throughout the province. She talks with us about how the different stops in her career have built towards this great challenge, addresses the external pressures facing many of the province’s cornerstone industries, the future of advocacy organizations, and much more.

EPISODE NOTES

The BC Chamber of Commerce is the largest and most broadly-based business association in British Columbia—representing businesses of every size, and from every sector and region.

Their advocacy is driven by their policies, which their members develop annually through a unique, grassroots policy-development process. The breadth and diversity of their policies reflect the innovative ideas and on-the-ground experience of their member chambers, boards and businesses across BC.

Since 1951, the BC Chamber has helped shape government public policy and decision-making to empower British Columbia’s businesses. While they are rooted in tradition, their approach is innovative and backed by data. Their online business insight community, BCMindReader.com allows them to know what’s on BC’s mind and take their member’s ideas and concerns directly to government, to encourage programs, policies, and legislation that supports BC businesses.
