A UWindsor alumna and adjunct professor in kinesiology will chair the local Chamber of Commerce as it focuses this year on three key areas: membership, partnerships and engagement.

“Together we can leverage the chamber’s unique role and value,” says Janice Forsyth (BHK 1983, MHK 1989). “We have a vital role to play at this time of both opportunity and challenge in our community.”

Dr. Forsyth is founder of Foresight Management Consulting a boasts a background in instructional design, resource development, evaluation, strategic planning and leadership development.

“Partnerships will continue to play a central role by encouraging organizations to interact, engage and forge alliances with the Chamber of Commerce community, aligning them to our mission to contribute directly to our member’s success and in turn the economic success of the region,” she says.

Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce Matt Marchand says the organization looks forward to benefiting from her insights and leadership: “We are excited to be working with Dr. Forsyth on business advocacy and all the new initiatives at the Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber.”
