Leamington Chamber holds its 88th Annual General Meeting

The Leamington District Chamber of Commerce held its 88th Annual General Meeting on Thursday, April 4 at the Portuguese Community Club in Leamington.

It was Chamber GM Wendy Parsons’ 10th such AGM and she took the podium to talk about the past year.

“I have great admiration for my board of directors,” she said. “And I thank them for all of their support.”

Parsons announced that the Chamber now has 266 members, 47 of which are new.

Chamber President Chad Robinson then took the podium to speak about how hard the board and staff have worked this past year and the challenges they’ve overcome.

He had special praise for Wendy Parsons and Ursula Tiessen.

“For all you do and continue to do — thank you,” he said.

Robinson also thanked two departing board members in Marion Fantetti and Jessica Dyck, both of whom have decided to retire from the board.

After a tasty lunch, the group went over the passing of last year’s minutes, by-laws and nominations for the new board of directors.

Diane Malenfant was elected new President.
