Shelley Wall resigned as manager of the 亚洲天堂 Lake & District Chamber of Commerce last week.
Wall delivered her resignation verbally at the conclusion of the chamber鈥檚 March 10 Annual General Meeting (AGM), saying her last day on the job would be March 31.
Wall gave no reason for her decision at the time, and has declined to comment since.
Kelly Holliday, the chamber鈥檚 new president, is baffled by the announcement.
鈥淚 am not certain (why Wall resigned),鈥 Holliday said March 12. 鈥淚 have not had the opportunity to speak with her, as she is out of the community on a personal matter.鈥
At last week鈥檚 AGM, several chamber members praised Wall鈥檚 efforts over the past year. Outgoing president Ron Zayac gave her partial credit for helping stabilize the organization鈥檚 finances.
Holliday also feels Wall has played a key role in the business organization鈥檚 recent resurgence.
鈥淪helley is the core strength of the 亚洲天堂 Lake and District Chamber of Commerce,鈥 Holliday stressed. 鈥淪he has been effectively building and leading the chamber, and is to be commended for the success the chamber has experienced in the past two years.鈥
The chamber鈥檚 new president said Wall鈥檚 departure will be 鈥渁 major loss to our team.鈥 Nevertheless, she is confident the group鈥檚 other employee, Trina Bysouth, will maintain operations until a replacement can be found.
鈥淪hould she (Wall) decide to move on from her current role, I trust in our executive to find a suitable replacement in a timely manner,鈥 Holliday said. 鈥淪helley's decision to resign will impact our operations in the short term, but I have complete confidence in Trina Bysouth to maintain the operation until the manager's position is filled. The executive will provide support in the interim to avoid any shortfall of services to our membership, and (maintain) existing contractual obligations.鈥
