In 1992 I was transferred from Seaforth to Ingersoll, where I met my husband Wayne. He sold me my house and then married me 2 years later. He should have sold me a bigger house!

My role in the last 5-6 years before my retirement from the bank was as a Community Manager, responsible for 16 branches in 4 different counties. I had a great career with CIBC.

In May 2005, I started with the Ingersoll District Chamber of Commerce as General Manger. During the ‘90’s I was part of the board of directors for the Chamber, so when this opportunity came around, I applied for the position. Working with business people has always been a passion for me, first through my banking career and then through the Chamber network.

I have one daughter, one step-daughter, two step-sons and 4 grandchildren.
