STAFF SPEAKING
Here is a note from the Communications Coordinator, Jennifer Brandle-McCall:
"We love this time of year! That's because a continuous stream of good news flows into our office through our nomination process for our Business Excellence Awards. It absolutely makes us feel SO good to hear about all the amazing ways that Prince George businesses are impressing their customers and community! We don't want to miss a single business who is deserving of a nomination this year. So, we've decided to extend the nomination period by an extra week (until May 27th at 5pm) so that you have ample opportunity to get those nominations in to us. Thank you for making the time to recognize the good work of our local businesses. It is the ultimate way to compliment an entrepreneur, leading to the biggest business event of the year in our city-The Business Excellence Awards Gala on October 22. You'll find the nomination form linked to the graphic block

MEET THE BOARD - PROFILE SERIES
VICE PRESIDENT - BILL QUINN
PRESIDENT, NUSTRIDE EXECUTIVE COACHING
A sole proprietor, Bill has enjoyed representing the majority of the Prince George Chamber's membership. With the business slowing in the north as a result of plunging oil and natural gas prices, he sees an even greater need for local businesses to be positioned to take their rightful place as Prince George is on the edge of becoming a player in the global market. As a member of the Chamber's Board of Directors, a key accomplishment is being instrumental in developing the Chamber's 2016 Strategic Plan. Bill looks forward to helping move the small business community forward as a member of the Chamber's Board of Directors.
