Big Changes: Northland Chamber of Commerce Board

Eight new board members were voted on to the Northland Chamber of commerce board at the Chamber AGM on Wednesday night.

Chamber CEO Jeff Smith says ‘there was a lot of interest in standing for our board which concluded in a vote at the AGM on Wednesday’.

‘We had a few retirements during the year so it was good that there was a keen level of interest in the Chamber’

The new board sees 8 new board members and 6 of the current board.

We have an exciting mix among our board with experts in the fields that the Chamber advocates strongly for namely Town Planning, Employment specialists, Construction, tourism, project management with the WDC and NRC remaining represented through co-opted members Greg Martin and Bill Rossiter.
