STAFF SPEAKING

Here is a note from the Bookkeeper & Office Administrator, Erin Tulle:


"Wow! What an exciting year this has been for the chamber. Things are always busy in our office, getting ready for the holidays, our open house and not to mention our fiscal year end. Feel free to give me a call if you need help registering for an upcoming event, paying an invoice or would like to book a tour  for your prospective employees that are new to Prince George. I'm looking forward to seeing our valuable members and friends at our open house on December 10th!"
