Fresh faces appointed to the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission

The Central Okanagan’s Economic Development Commission (COEDC) has announced the appointment of five new advisory council members.

Each new member brings a wealth of knowledge and experience from different industry sectors across the Okanagan and will be tasked with providing valuable insight towards growing the region.

Here is the 2020 COEDC Advisory Council:

  • Nikki Csek, CEO of Csek Creative, representing the Professional Services and Communications sector
  • Pete Patterson, COO & Co-Founder of Vitalis Extraction Technology Inc, representing the Manufacturing and Technology sector
  • Paula Quinn, Executive Director of the KF Aerospace Centre for Excellence Association, representing the Aerospace sector
  • Brian Wall, CEO at AEM (Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing Corp), representing Aerospace and Manufacturing sector
  • Noel Wentworth, VP Education and Media at Wentworth Music, representing Arts and Culture sector

“Economic Development is a team sport and the COEDC Advisory Council brings the various players – industry leaders, government, educational institutions and business service providers– together to boost economic growth in the Central Okanagan," said Brad Klassen, 2020 COEDC Advisory Council Chair and CFO of Troika Developments.

"The appointment of this year’s new members adds valuable new insight and perspective to the council. We look forward to making an impact in 2020 and beyond.”

All together, the 45 member Advisory Council is comprised of industry leaders, elected officials, local government staff and community organizations representing a cross section of industries.
