Craig Hall

We relocated our family from Calgary to Kelowna in 2011 to take on a New Business Development role with Shaw Communications. After being invited by a colleague to attend a few after-hours Chamber events, I was able to connect with many local business owners resulting in new relationships across diverse industries. I decided to give back to the Chamber by becoming a Member Ambassador (2012-2018). 

In 2017, I was privileged to receive the Member Ambassador of the Year Award. Recently, I returned to the Chamber to re-join the Ambassador team. I am fortunate to be part of SaskTel National - delivering unique ITC solutions across Kelowna and the rest of BC.   Feel free to reach out to me if you are curious about membership within the Kelowna Chamber and/or need help as a business owner. I am open to grabbing a coffee or connecting over the phone.
