Three Chamber Board seats are due to become vacant in October, and business leaders from various business sectors have been nominated to fill the vacancies. The slate of names was put forward by the Nominating Committee, a group appointed by the Board in accordance with The Chamber’s By-Laws, to set the annual election process in motion.
