Outgoing Board Chair Charlene Scheffelmair praised the organization’s progress, pointing to initiatives such as the region’s first Quantum Super Hub and several economic studies supporting local growth.

The event also marked a transition in leadership, with Ed Limon stepping in as the new Board Chair and President.

He says key priorities in the coming year will include the search for a new CEO, collaboration with the City of Lethbridge on economic strategy, and setting organizational performance goals.
