For Immediate Release
A new person is at the helm of the Nova Scotia Chambers of Commerce. Wayne Fiander, of Elmsdale, has officially taken over the role of President from Tom McInnis. Fiander has more than 30 years combined experience in management, marketing in the pharmacy industry and government affairs on both the municipal and provincial levels. He has worked for two Premiers of Nova Scotia and has served as President of the East Hants Chamber of Commerce.
“I look forward to helping the Nova Scotia Chambers of Commerce grow and thrive,” said Fiander. “A strengthened provincial chamber with a strong voice on business issues will ultimately lead to stronger chambers at the local level. Business activity, regardless of whether it is a one person or a 100 person or more operation, is the driving force of our economy. A more competitive environment will ensure Nova Scotia businesses have access to the world and that our province is the best place in which to operate a business, live and work in Canada.”
McInnis, a lawyer and former MLA from Sheet Harbour, moves into the position of Past President. Chris Atwood, the Executive Director of the Atlantic Association of Community Business Development Corporations, is the newly minted 1st Vice president for the NSCoC.
Nancy Frame, of PriceWaterhouseCoopers in Truro and Jennifer Hamilton-Upham, of Patterson Law in Truro, retain their positions of Treasurer and Solicitor respectively.
The new Executive was brought in at the Nova Scotia Chambers of Commerce Annual General Meeting which was held in Port Hawkesbury recently. The NSCoC is the umbrella group for 32 chambers of commerce in Nova Scotia.
