Vermont Chamber of Commerce Announces Three New Hires
The Vermont Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce Erica Canada as the organization’s new Director of Membership Engagement and Development, Maggie Wilson as the new Director of Communications, and Emily Berger as the new Tourism Communications and Program Manager. They will work closely with President Betsy Bishop, who has been with the Chamber for 10 years.
“As the largest statewide business organization, the Vermont Chamber is invested in keeping our member businesses across Vermont informed, engaged, and positively represented. That’s why we have hired these communications and engagement professionals to help our members grow their businesses and the Vermont economy,” said Bishop. “They’ll be a vital part of bringing in new audiences and strengthening connections with our existing members and partners across the region.”
Erica Canada will support and deepen Vermont Chamber engagement with members. She previously worked for Asheville Home Builders Association in North Carolina as an Event Manager. She lived in Vermont during the 2010 winter season working as the Venue Manager for SharpShooter Imaging at Killington and then in Crested Butte for five years taking photos of people on vacation, skiing, and enjoying Colorado.
