After a dozen years with Surrey Board of Trade, Ray Hudson is retiring from his position as manager of policy and communications, effective July 31.
"The Surrey Board of Trade has enjoyed the diverse skill sets and the innovation that he brought to his role in government advocacy, as well as communications following a 23-year career with the CBC," said Anita Huberman, the board's CEO.
"We could not have built the Surrey Board of Trade to where it is today without him. We will miss him."
For his part, Hudson said he has been "honoured to work with some amazing people" at SBoT. "I wish the Surrey Board of Trade success as in its pivotal role in the development of Surrey's business community."
A retirement party for Hudson is planned for Tuesday, June 24 at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel.
