“We are ecstatic to have Elise as our new CEO,” Board Chair Meghan Mayer said in a statement. “She comes with an extensive background of experience in working with chambers and a wealth of business knowledge. We are confident she’s an excellent fit for the Prince Albert Chamber of Commerce.”

Hildebrandt said she is looking forward to working with the local business community.

Hildebrandt said she plans to work closely with local businesses and the community as a whole.

“I believe the Chamber is about keeping the business community engaged via education, advocacy, and networking,” she said. “It’s recognizing and acknowledging each other’s business accomplishments and at the end of the day making sure our business voice is heard.”

Hildebrandt replaces ousted CEO Kelvin Pankiw, who was dismissed from the position in March after just two months on the job.
