Meet & Greet: Connect with your Membership team
Get the MOST out of your Chamber Membership!
We’re getting ready to plan our fall and winter offerings, and we want to hear from you.
What’s going on in your business right now? What challenges are you facing? What kind of events, content, or connections would be most helpful in the months ahead?
It’s a chance to share what’s top of mind, meet other members, and help shape programming that actually reflects what you need. Bring your thoughts, questions and ideas!

Kerry TenchMembership Sales Manager
Kerry is a lifelong Nova Scotian and has always felt deeply connected to our province’s natural beauty. Growing up in a small town, she spent much of her childhood camping, hiking, cross-country skiing, and enjoying our stunning beaches. Kerry finds peace in hiking less-traveled wooded areas and coastlines, enjoying the beauty of untouched landscapes, and she enjoys identifying local native species and gardening in her spare time.
With a strong background in fundraising, she has spent her career building positive community relationships and raising awareness and funds for various causes close to her heart.
When she’s not working, Kerry and her husband Rae can usually be found in a hockey rink watching their youngest son Marcus or walking and swimming at beaches and barbecuing with their children, Deanne, Bradley, Matt, and grandson Mehki.
