The Prince Edward County Chamber of Commerce has appointed its new Chief Executive Officer.
Duarte Da Silva took over the role on April 18 replacing Lesley Lavender.
Outgoing Board Chair Jason Clarke says with Da Silva’s in depth knowledge of The County and industry expertise, they are confident he will excel in further elevating the Chamber’s mission to support local business.
“I am thrilled to lead such an important organization in Prince Edward County. The Chamber has been part of the fabric of PEC for almost 120 years as the central hub for business. Our members have equity in the Chamber and are the reason for our success,” said Da Silva. “I look forward to working with our business leaders, partners and government, as we together, make The County the best place to live and do business,” says Duarte Da Silva.
Duarte worked closely with Lavender during the transition period to ensure a smooth and seamless handover of responsibilities.
