The results are in and a new board is set to take the helm.
The Yorkton Chamber of Commerce has an--nounced the results of the recent election for eight positions on the Chamber's Board of Directors. Returning to the Board are Amie Zamonsky, Don Rae and Corey Werner. New, are Charlene Gibler, Cheryl Kustra, Greg Donnelly, Joel Martinuk and Laurie Fedorowich. Each Director will serve a two year term.
Ten people filed their nomination papers and Executive Director of the Chamber Juanita Polegi, says she was pleased with the quality of all the candidates.
"Every person who let their name stand would have brought new ideas and enthusiasm for the Chamber to the Table," she says. "We encourage the remaining candidates to consider running in future Chamber elections or to sit on one of the Board's committees as the Chamber could benefit greatly from their experience and skills."
An election is held every November to fill half the Board positions. In order to run for a position on the Board, candidates must be members of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce or represent businesses which hold membership in the Chamber. The new members of the Board will take their seat at the Chamber Board table in January at which time the Executive is then elected by the Directors.
Directors serving the second year of their term include Carol Yaholnitsky, Chad Hilton, Dick DeRyk, Domenic Rampone, Doug Kitsch, Rob Bear, Susan Stewardson and Tom Seeley.
