In a letter to Chamber members, chair Noah Crowley didn’t give a reason for Budd’s resignation.

“During her two years at the helm of our organization, Sarah led the Chamber team with dedication and enthusiasm,” Crowley wrote. “Sarah helped usher in a new era of lobbying, ensuring the concerns of our members were heard by the Ontario and Canadian Chambers, and by our mayor, MPP and MP.”

Gail Moorhouse will step in as Interim President & CEO.

Crowley stated she will support the staff as it prepares for the Business Excellence Awards next month, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce Annual General Meeting and other fall events.

“Gail is an expert in executive leadership, with a depth of experience managing through change,” Crowley said. “On behalf of the board, I extend my sincere thanks to Sarah and I wish her continued success in the next chapter of her career.”
