Quynlan Young has been named as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Prince George Chamber of Commerce.
The position became vacant in January when Todd Corrigall tendered his resignation after five years as CEO. Young will begin the role effective Feb. 22.
Young began working at the Prince George Chamber of Commerce in 2018 as executive projects coordinator, and is excited to be returning in this new leadership role following her recent maternity leave.
“The mission of this organization aligns significantly with my personal values. Uplifting the businesses of Prince George is so important to me ”, said Young, “I know I have big shoes to fill, and as the leaders before me did, I really hope to make a difference.”
Young was born and raised by a family of business owners in Prince George, BC, whom she has assisted with day-to-day operations for years. She attended UNBC, where she spent time studying various businesses through casework on the UNBC JDCWest team and creating solutions for their respective challenges.
“We are so happy to have Quyn returning to our team as CEO,” said Ray Noonan, president of the Prince George Chamber of Commerce, “The board is confident that she will excel in this leadership role, as we have already seen her demonstrate her business expertise. I feel the board has been able to add value to the membership by extending the offer to her.”
