The Kelowna Chamber 2015/16 Term is just underway. There were 6 director's seats up for grabs, and after we had 11 candidates apply for the positions, we posted their answers to our questions online and went to a vote. The election remained open for 2 weeks and we collected about 300 votes. It was a very close race! The final results saw directors with equal amount of votes as well as some 1, 2 and 3 apart. With the calibur of candidates we had, it is no wonder:

Brian Bonsma*; Speedpro Signs | |
