AVCC eNews: August 25, 2022

Welcome! – New Members:

Meet a Board Member – Werner Barnard

👋 Meet Werner Barnard, one of our new Board of Directors! 👋
I relocated with my family from South Africa and arrived in the Valley in June 2020 filled with hope, to start a new career and a new life in Canada. I can confidently say that, after two years, all our expectations of living and working in Canada have been exceeded and my family and I are very blessed and happy to be here.
I currently serve as the President of Eden Valley Poultry Incorporated in Berwick. I have a passion for food processing and agriculture, having spent the majority of my career in related businesses.
My business philosophy is to be people-centric and to strive for excellence. In addition to this, I am a life-long learner, fueled by my thirst for knowledge and my goal of continuous self-improvement. I am passionately curious about people, business, and the ongoing changes in the world around me.
I believe in being an active part of the community and giving back in ways that can add value and benefit. I was very excited to be invited to be a part of the AVCC and I will use this opportunity, my experience in serving on NPO boards, as well as my professional experiences to contribute to the AVCC and the community it serves.
Thank you for everything you do for the Chamber and the Community, Werner! 👏👏
