Wall was appointed to the board for the Saskatchewan Economic Development Association (SEDA) during the organization’s annual general meeting on April 26.
She has owned and managed businesses in the retail and agricultural sectors in the past, and is involved in Saskatchewan’s creative sector as an artist.
