Due to unforeseen personal circumstances, Craig Knapp has stepped down as President of the Columbia Valley Chamber of Commerce.

In discussion with Susan Clovechok, Executive Director and first Vice President, Amanda Robinson, Craig expressed his deep regret for not being able to dedicate the time and resources necessary to fully execute his role as President and therefore felt the need to step down.

At a special meeting of the Board of Directors April 22, Amanda Robinson was voted in as President and Rose-Marie Fagerholm agreed to step into the role of first Vice President. Amanda is the general manager of Copper Point Resort.

Dianne Archer will remain in the role of second Vice President.

“This structure will provide great continuity for the board given Rose-Marie’s role as President of the Chamber from 2012 – 2014,” said Robinson.

The executive directors will act in these roles until the Annual General Meeting of the membership in March of 2015 when the membership will vote on the directors’ roles.

The entire board wishes Craig all the best and offers its thanks for his work with the Chamber over the past two years. Craig is the owner of the Invermere Canadian Tire.
