Chamber Member of the Year

Josue Dubon, DesignWealth 

Josue Dubon is Chamber Member of the Year for 2025. Originally from Winnipeg, Dubon moved to Greater Victoria in 2019 and is a Partner and Wealth Mentor at DesignWealth. In 2023, Dubon took on the role of Chair of The Chamber’s new Emerge committee. In 2024, he joined The Chamber’s Board of Directors, and serves on the Finance and Audit committee, as well as Emerge and Ambassador committees. Starting Jan. 1, 2025, he added Board Secretary to his roles and became Chair of the Ambassador committee. 

“Witnessing how different voices and perspectives come together to create positive change has been deeply inspiring and a constant reminder of the strength found in unity,” Dubon said. “What I didn’t foresee, when I first became involved in order to add my voice as an advocate of business, was how much this organization would give back to me — through meaningful connections, invaluable lessons, and opportunities to grow alongside a community deeply committed to fostering innovation and collaboration.” 

The Chamber Member of the Year award, sponsored by Air Canada, recognizes an individual who has served as a volunteer at The Chamber, has taken an active role with the board or committees, fosters relationships with the community and advocates on behalf of business.
