NEW INTERIM LEADER OF BC CONSERVATIVES VOWS TO KEEP SERVING VERNON AS CITY COUNCILLOR

VERNON BC-The British Columbia Conservative Party is pleased to announce that Scott Anderson has been appointed the party's Interim Leader. The appointment was confirmed by an unanimous decision by the newly elected Board of Directors immediately following the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Langley, British Columbia on Saturday, September 30, 2017.

Scott Anderson is a long time member and a four term board member of the BC Conservatives, having served on the Executive Board as a Member at Large since 2013. He has variously served the party as Chair of the Policy Committee, Election Readiness Committee, and most recently as Director of Communications.

Anderson is a business owner, recently retired (2017) military officer (Reserves), and has been serving as a City Councillor in Vernon, BC, since 2014. His education is in Political Studies with a focus on international relations, and he is currently finishing a Master's degree in international relations at the University of British Columbia, preparatory to pursuing a doctorate in the same field.

"I am deeply honoured to be entrusted with the role of Interim Leader of this great party," said Anderson. "But I want to assure my constituents in Vernon that my commitment to them as a City Councillor will be in no way diminished. My role on City Council will remain unchanged, my commitment to that role will remain unchanged, and I will continue to serve in any capacity the Mayor deems appropriate."

The term of Interim Leader will last until a new leader is elected by the general membership of the BC Conservatives in 2018.
