worked extensively in private enterprise and has a very good
understanding of the challenges and nuances of operating a successful
business” Hull had a business consultancy practice specializing in organizational and change management in the private business sector. “I am excited to join the team working within the heart and soul of the business sector in Vernon’s downtown core,” said Hull. “The DVA has a long successful history here in the city
and I am honoured to become part of what I am confident will be a
storied future.” Hull was a long-stime resident of Terrace. where he was
the youngest person ever elected to city council and went on to serve
for 12 years. He cites his time in politics as fundamental in adding
political savvy and inter-governmental experience to his business acumen

associations. “So much of success in this variety of work comes from
being able to understand all the points and perspectives and being able
to work to successful conclusions.” Hull also spent six years with the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce.
Hull replaces Earl Hansen, who is retiring as DVA executive director. “Earl has been paramount in the success of the
organization for the past six years. We’ve worked closely together and I
felt we’ve made a good team for the DVA,” said Hoyte. “David has big shoes to fill and the board and I are confident he will do well.”
