Adelheid Bemder, one-time executive diretor of the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce has been re-appointed to that position on an interim basis, replacing John Devitt who was eased out of that post in August.

“As Executive Director of the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce, Adelheid was heavily involved with the BC Chamber Executive (BCCE) organization. She was on their Board of Directors for eight years and in the fall of 2001 she was elected president of that organization. In 2002 she was given the honour of being voted as the Executive of the Year for the province of British Columbia by BCCE.”
Roe said having Adelheid in place will give the Chamber the confidence it needs as it continues its search for a full-time executive idrector, Roe said.
