Gloria Spence, General Manager    
Aboriginal Chamber of Commerce

As the recently hired General Manager of the Aboriginal Chamber of Commerce, Gloria is excited about this wonderful opportunity to work with businesses, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal.  Connecting Aboriginal people and communities to the business community is a challenge she faces with exuberance and a smile. Every day brings another exciting opportunity to expand the reach of the ACC and she is just the person to accomplish this.

Gloria’s vast experience in the business, administrative and arts community spans decades.  From working for the provincial government, First Nations organizations and not-for-profit organizations, she has had many experiences that assist in the day to day operation of the Aboriginal Chamber of Commerce. Gloria joins the ACC after 7 years of establishing and expanding the Manito Ahbee Festival office.

She is the proud mother of 3 grown children and numerous grandchildren. When she is not with her grandchildren, she can be found at her sewing machine creating beautiful quilts for her family and friends. Gloria was raised as one of seven children in the small Metis community of Eddystone, Manitoba. She is a member of the Ebb & Flow First Nation.
