Rick Glumac, MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam and Premier David Eby’s Liaison for the Pacific Northwest, will serve a one-year term as president of the Pacific NorthWest Economic Region (PNWER).

Glumac was elected by the PNWER Delegate Council at this year’s Annual Summit, which was held in Boise, Idaho, July 16-20, 2023.

I look forward to working with my colleagues on issues related to energy transition, clean transportation and so much more.”
