Chamber accelerates transformation, supported by new Board
A new board has been announced for the Canterbury Employers’ Chamber of Commerce, to support the organisation’s ambitious transformation programme, accelerated by the rapidly-evolving Covid-19 operating environment.
Chief executive Leeann Watson said the past year has been challenging for all businesses, reinforcing the strong role the chamber plays in the local business community.
