The Red Deer District Chamber announces a change in executive leadership, effective June 19, 2025. Following discussions the Red Deer District Chamber Board of Directors and Scott Robinson have agreed to part ways. This decision reflects a mutual agreement that new leadership is needed to guide the organization into its next chapter.

As part of this transition, Chamber President Mike Szyszka will assume the role of Interim Chief Executive Officer. This interim appointment will ensure continuity of leadership and provide operational stability while the Board initiates the process to recruit a new permanent CEO.

Szyszka, a longtime Chamber member of over 17 years and current Board President in his second consecutive term, is a respected local business owner with deep roots in Central Alberta’s business community. In keeping with Chamber policy, he will serve in this interim capacity on a volunteer basis as an act of service to the organization.

“Our focus is on supporting our staff, members, and partners through this transition while reaffirming our commitment to the mission and values that have guided the Chamber for over a century,” said Szyszka. “We remain dedicated to advancing the interests of our business community and
strengthening the Chamber’s long-standing role as a champion for economic development in Central Alberta.”

The Board has struck a hiring committee that will lead the search for new leadership. Updates regarding this process will be shared in the weeks ahead. The Chamber would like to thank all stakeholders for their continued support as we move through this period of change.
