A new Chamber Board is in place and ready for the upcoming year.
President of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce Lawrence Wegner, has announced the results of the recent election for eight positions on the Chamber's Board of Directors. Returning to the Board are Dolores Harris, Corey Werner, Cassidy Westberg, Amie Zamonsky, Ron Irvine and Ryan Hoffman. New to the Board are Don Rae and Evan Ortynsky. Each Director will serve a two year term.
Ten people filed their nomination papers and Wegner says he was pleased with the quality of all the candidates.
"Every person who let their name stand would have made a great Director," he comments. "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.
