| A Message From The Chair |
| Thank you to everyone who attended or submitted a proxy form for this year’s Annual General and Special Meeting. With the new requirements of the Ontario Not for Profit Corporations Act, we were required to update the by-laws and Articles of Amendment for the organization. All resolutions were passed and the required filings are being completed. This year is a year of transition for some of our board members. I have had the pleasure of serving on the board with John D’Amico for many years. John and I are the only two board members who were members of the former Thorold Chamber of Commerce. John is stepping back from his board activities this year. We are most grateful for his many years of service and will miss his wit and wisdom at our meetings. Also stepping down from this year is Jeff Walters, and we thank him for his contributions to the board. We are also welcoming Kelly Westlake and Joydeep (Joy) Chakraborty as new board members this year. It’s always great to have new faces and new perspectives around the table. Thank you for volunteering your time and energy! As a board, we’re always looking for ways to improve the member experience and ensure we’re providing the best value for you, our members. However, the most valuable resource the Niagara Board of Trade & Commerce brings to the table is our members. It is the relationships between members that leads to new business opportunities, either with each other or through referrals. It is said that if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together. Prosperity is a result of working together, and I hope that you will work with your fellow NBOTAC members to help you grow your successful business. Best Regards- Mark Kawabe- NBOTAC Chair |
