Peto takes over as new Chamber GM
Today marks Nathan Peto’s first day as the new Brandon Chamber of Commerce general manager.
The chamber’s president says Peto’s arrival to the organization has come at a most opportune time, after more than a month without a GM.
“We have a very capable staff who did an excellent job of filling in, but we’re very happy to have Nathan ... we’re very fortunate,” Lee Bass said.
Peto joins the chamber after serving as president of the Brandon University Students’ Union for the past year.
