Warden Tom Bain <br /> 6th Annual Warden's Luncheon <br /> Windsor Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce <br /> April 5, 2013 <br /> Ciociaro Club <br /> Head table guests, members of County Council, members of Essex County Municipal <br /> Councils, Mayor Francis and members of Windsor City Council, ladies and gentlemen, friends <br /> and family, good afternoon and welcome to the 6th annual Warden's State of the County address, <br /> made possible by our friends at the Windsor Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce and, once <br /> again, the lead sponsor of today's event, the United Communities Credit Union. <br /> I want to thank the Chamber of Commerce for this opportunity to come before you today <br /> to share some of my thoughts and perspectives on what lies ahead for the County of Essex and its <br /> seven local municipalities throughout 2013. <br /> The Chamber has a long history of advancing the business interests of its members, <br /> seeking to impact the political agenda at all levels of government. <br /> I can confirm that Matt and his staff have not been at all shy in reaching out to County <br /> elected and administrative officials as they develop policies, and advocacy positions. While we <br /> may not always agree on each and every point of view taken by the Chamber, we can always rely <br /> on honest and open dialogue. This is indeed the hallmark of an engaged and collaborative <br /> community. <br /> Sheila, thank you and the United Communities Credit Union for again sponsoring this <br /> event. Your Credit Union has a rich history of contributing to the ongoing vitality of our Essex <br /> County communities. Beyond its day-to-day offering of financial services and products, the <br /> Credit Union is deeply embedded across our region through its substantial support of a variety of <br /> community and social development, financial literacy and economic sustainability initiatives. <br />
