In a release sent out Monday, the Business Council said Chief will take on a number of roles including helping new Canadians and members of the Indigenous community play a greater role in the economy.
Chief had been touted as a possible future leader of the New Democrats but resigned instead, saying he wanted to spend more time with his young family.
He was first elected in 2011 and was easily re-elected in his Point Douglas constituency in 2016. A byelection will be held to elect a new MLA for the area.
