The Meeting April 26, 2016
By Barb Burggraf
Rob Brookwell and the head table were clapped into the Alberta room. George Brookman led us in a music free rendition of Oh Canada. We were mostly in tune. John Seigner gave a thoughtful invocation. Rob thanked the volunteers.
George Brookman introduced a very special speaker, Adam Legge who joined the Calgary Chamber as the President and CEO in September of 2010. He is the youngest president in the Chamber’s history, and continues to build on the 120 year history of those who came before. Previous to joining the Calgary Chamber, Adam held the role of Vice President and Chief Economist with Calgary Economic Development. There he became recognized as an authority in local economic performance and conditions, and delivered many economic analyses including an annual economic outlook which became the largest economic outlook event of its kind in Canada.
