Our Structure & Governance

The Chambers across PEI have a joint letter of intent and draft a Memorandum of Understanding for release in December 2025. Our purpose is clear. We have a working group from Chamber leadership and Boards of Directors as well experienced and new business leaders. We are comprised of founding members, annual members and report annually to the members and Chambers Boards across the Island. To join BEC you are required to also hold a membership in any other Chamber across PEI.

Our research is provided by an independent third-party leader in the region with our evidence based economic policy recommendations guiding our future. We are informed through our research, data and experience to help inform our policy recommendations.

As one voice together we strive to:

1. Drive sound Public Policy: By joining BEC business leaders can contribute to shaping public policy that directly impacts the business environment in Prince Edward Island. The council provides a unified voice for the business community, ensuring that their interests are represented and advocated for effectively together. We believe we can impact effective change to help the broader business community and PEI prosper.

2. Support Economic Growth: BEC focuses on key areas such as policy advocacy, business development, and workforce enhancement. By collaborating with other influential business leaders, members can work together to drive economic growth and enhance the province's competitiveness.

3. Power a vision for Long-Term Prosperity: The council supports initiatives that contribute to the long-term prosperity of our province. By being part of the council, business leaders can help create a favourable business environment that supports sustainable development, economic stability, and long term prosperity.

Governance Structure

The council comprises influential business Chamber leaders from various sectors who work together to drive a vision and action plan for economic growth and enhance the province's competitiveness. The structure will be shared by end of 2025.
