The Austin Heights Business Improvement Association has a new leader.
Lisa Landry is the new executive director, replacing Erin Davidson, who has retired.
Landry is the former editor and general manager of snapd Tri-Cities, and has a public relations background. She is currently a Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce board director and member of the Coquitlam Foundation's marketing and communications committee.
Davidson leaves after co-founding the BIA 10 years ago, during which time she started numerous anti-graffiti and beautification programs, as well as the annual Daisy Day Festival.
The Austin Heights business community was recently in the news with the successful launch of Coquitlam Munch, a group of 38 planters containing vegetables that have been adopted by local businesses and are available to the public for sampling.
