Battlefords Chamber of Commerce’s new chair inducted
It was a time for new beginnings at the Battlefords Chamber of Commerce’s chair’s inductee ceremony Tuesday.
Outgoing chair Derek Schmidt, of Bill and Don’s Men’s Wear, officially passed the gavel to incoming chair Kayla Petersen, Century 21 Prairie Elite owner and broker, as part of the chamber’s tradition.
An emotional Petersen was thrilled to take on the position as the new chair of the board of directors for the year.
“I’ve been on the board for eight years, but this will be a new role for me,” she said. “I’m excited to just take it on full force and start learning and working with everybody.”
