Board of Directors

The Chamber of Commerce is guided by a Strategic Plan developed and managed by a volunteer Board of at least 12 Directors elected from among the Membership and supported by a structure of Committees and Task Forces.

Board Members are elected for 3-year terms and may be re-elected up to two times. Terms are staggered so that only four Board seats turn over annually, helping us share knowledge between one generation and the next and ensuring we have a diverse and vibrant leadership group. Elections are held annually in September.

Members of the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce’ Board of Directors serve for a three year term, with elected cohorts commencing November 1 each year.

Chamber members are invited to submit names of individuals interested in letting their name stand for election. As per the Chamber By-Laws (Article 4), four (4) directors are typically elected during each annual Board Election.

Typical election time-frame:

• first slate of nominations closes July 31.
• candidates with applications received after July 31st will be provided information to submit the required 10 supporting signatures in order to be added to the final slate.
• deadline for additional nominations (received in writing with 10 supporting signatures) is August 31.
