The Board of Directors of the NWT Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce it will hold its 2009 Annual General Meeting in Fort Smith March 30-31.
“We’re very excited that we’ve been able to line-up Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney, who is originally from Fort Smith, as our special guest,” said Ann Marie Tout, NWT Chamber President.
“The Board of Directors is also thrilled with the prospect of going to Fort Smith for this event – and we thank the Fort Smith Chamber of Commerce and its President Don Jaque for the kind invitation.”
While other details of the program are still coming together, we hope to see many of our members there to join us for this important gathering, she added.
The NWT Chamber will be sending its members an updated program and registration form once all of the other speakers and activities of the event are confirmed.
