CHAMBER CHAT

 

Call for  Board of Directors Nominations Committee

The Leduc Regional Chamber is calling for two members to join our Past President on the 2014 Board of Directors Nominations Committee. This Committee works with the Executive Director to collect and provide a slate of nominations to the Board before the Election at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on May 2, 2014. The time and work commitment is small leading up to the AGM; most work may be done via email and/or quick meetings.

 

This volunteer position will provide you a good understanding of the nominations procedure and allows you to help the Chamber move forward with its vision to be the business voice and leader in the region.

Interested, members in good standing must contact Executive Director Shaun Green @ 780.986.5454 or sgreen@leduc-chamber.com before 11:59 pm March 20th, 2014.

NEW Policy
Thank you for responding to the Member Policy Survey--85% of respondents saw the policy as useful to support the success of their business.

Currently the Federal Government provides the tax free savings account (TFSA) for personal use.  Businesses, especially small businesses, would benefit from a tax free savings account (TFSA) amounting to $10,000.00 per year, in which they would be able to take the money saved to re-invest it into their business-whether it be staff or infrastructure.  The Leduc Regional Chamber Board of Directors has approved this policy and will be taking it to the Alberta Chambers of Commerce (ACC) AGM in Fort McMurray, May 2014.
