Dianna Rivard
2011 Chamber ChairI am so fortunate to be part of a business culture that recognizes the value of relationship building while focusing on community betterment.
I am proud of the more than 250 members of our organization who not only contribute to our strength, but leverage the opportunities and take advantage of the many exclusive programs and services that come from their membership. We are so privileged to have a membership that represents a broad cross section of the businesses in our community. Representatives are from retail, tourism and professional sectors and reflect the needs of small, medium and large sized businesses.
Our Board of Directors plays an important role in promoting the visibility and value of our Chamber. Many of you may have heard that Chambers of Commerce are the “voice of business” in the community. We embrace our role as advocates and are committed to forming positive relationships with all levels of government while advocating on behalf of our members.
Our staff and volunteers work well with our community stakeholders, building partnerships, while developing marketing and membership strategies to serve our members. Our management team possess over 30 years of business experience, 10 working with Chambers of Commerce. We believe that economic development should be more than fund development - it should be and must be about sustainable community development.
We invite you to explore what the Qualicum Beach Chamber and our surrounding communities have to offer to you and your business. Discover why our Chamber has been the voice of business since 1927.
