Charla co-chairs OCC Caucus

Look for Charla Robinson, President of Thunder Bay's Chamber in Charlottetown later this month. A big thank you to her, and Gerry Macartney of London Chamber, who have co-chaired a number of phone calls with chamber executives across the province this summer. The purpose of the calls was to review, understand and co-ordinate suggested amendments to policy resolutions coming forward at the Canadian Chamber's Annual General Meeting. With the guidance of Ontario Chamber of Commerce staff, these calls are a very valuable service that allow local chambers attending the AGM to vote in a more informed way. Charla is also featured in this month's online member profile.

As a reminder, if you haven't already registered, many Ontario executives will be attending CCEC, in advance of the Canadian Chamber's AGM. Shelley and the CCEC Board have put together a great line-up of topics and speakers.
