New executive director for Chamber of Commerce

PENTICTON – The Penticton and Wine Country Chamber of Commerce has a new executive director.

Brandy Maslowski was selected by the chamber board earlier this week to head the organization as it seeks to build a thriving business community in Penticton.

Maslowski has been with the chamber since May working as the events planner and coordinator. Prior to that, Maslowski spent 15 years on the Winnipeg Fire Department, where she served as public education officer. She says her skills “nicely transferred over” to the work she’s been doing on the chamber.

“It’s been exciting here. This is a great place to be – the chamber is vibrant and growing,” she says, adding the five months she has spent with the organization has helped her find out what the chamber is all about.

Moving forward, Malowski says she is “really excited” about her new position of overseeing the chamber, providing business education and other services for members and helping to create a vibrant business culture in the city.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
