“They suggested that it was time to go our separate directions.”
Kim Smythe, who served for a decade as chief executive of the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce, has been let go by the organization with close to two years left in his contract.There was no reason given for the board’s decision, he said Friday. “I said, ‘OK. Thank you very much for 10 years and best wishes.’”
“So that may have precipitated them wishing to sit down and make some decisions about the future of the organization.” “I will move on in my different direction and they will move on in their different direction. Everybody’s fine,” Smythe said.Smythe has had a high profile in Nanaimo, where he has been active in community organizations, taking leadership roles in many key committees and organizations tackling a wide range of issues.
At the chamber, he spearheaded the city’s popular night market, which attracts thousands with vendors and live entertainment during warm months.
