Charlottetown, PE (May 6, 2021) – The Greater Charlottetown Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors has announced Nicole Bellefleur as Interim-CEO effective May 31st. Ms. Bellefleur will assume this role while the Board proceeds with the search for the Chamber’s next CEO.
Nicole joined the Chamber in 2015 as Program Director of PEI Connectors. PEI Connectors is an initiative of the Chamber that offers support services to businesses owned and operated by immigrants. The initiative also connects new Islanders and new graduates to business and community leaders to grow their professional networks and expand career opportunities on the Island. Prior to joining the Chamber, she held marketing management positions with FRHI Hotels & Resorts and Delta Hotels & Resorts.
