Pete Bourke is pleased to be reaching out to you as the Columbia Valley Chamber’s new Executive Director.

One of Pete’s personal goals and a Chamber mandate is to ensure the Chamber is continually connecting with our members and community as a whole. It’s critical to create an avenue for open dialogue so we can all be working towards the goals of the Columbia Valley region.

“Meet the Executive Director” are days where Pete will travel to various communities once per month. (with the exception of July & August).

Starting this month (June), Pete may be in your area…!
