ACC Statement: Alberta Election
Edmonton, Alberta - On the eve of Alberta election 2023, President and CEO of the Alberta Chambers of Commerce (ACC) Shauna Feth released the following congratulatory statement: 

"The ACC congratulates Premier Danielle Smith and Alberta's new UCP government on behalf of our network, more than one hundred community chambers representing tens of thousands of job creators in the province.

Alberta is strongest when business and government work together with a shared vision. Our network looks forward to advancing balanced economic and fiscal policy with our newly elected government, to position our province as attractive to investors and as a region of opportunity in the years to come.

Introducing Wendy Runge, Realtor

With over 16 years of real estate service under her belt, Wendy can assure you that you are in good hands with her. She is committed to listening to her clients, focusing on their needs and using keen negotiating skills to ensure a successful transaction. It is her highest priority to make the transaction as smooth and easy as possible.  

Wendy has diverse experience with both practical real estate and organized real estate. She served on a board of directors for 7 years, 2 of those as President. Voted by her colleagues as Realtor® of the year for 2020 and also received a “Distinguished Service Award” for her service to the community. It would be correct to say that real estate is more than a “job” for her. She's committed to her clients and the industry.  

Being a wife, mother, grandmother and volunteer gives her great understanding of the many different phases of life, whether it’s your first home (like her kids are experiencing) or a downsize (like she's just gone through) she's here to listen to your wants and needs and ask “how can I help?.” 

Wendy looks forward to working with you and becoming your “Realtor® for Life!”
