The Board of the Prince George Chamber of Commerce has appointed a new CEO.
Effective July 10, Erika Ewacha will assume the new role replacing Christie Ray who announced her departure in the spring after 4 years as CEO.
"While they are some very large shoes to fill, I am confident that Erika will excel in the role and that while the selection process was onerous, I feel the board had been able to add value the membership by extending the offer," said chamber of commerce president, Corey Naphtali.
Ewacha has worked with non-profit organizations including the Canadian Red Cross, the Parkinson Society BC and the Canadian Cancer Society.
She has extensive customer service and sales experience and also worked for the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce from 2014-2017, first as executive assistant and then as executive director. With a love for the great outdoors, Ewacha is thrilled to begin her new position with the Prince George chamber and working with the business community again.
Naphital and the chamber board are confident that the management skills and experience Ewacha brings will help provide a stronger foundation for growth opportunities.
"Through the chamber network, she became passionate about both Northern B.C. and the success of the business community in the north," Naphtali said.
