organizational development. Over the next three years, MCC will foster a stronger entrepreneurial climate and help remove the economic barriers businesses face. The organization is committed to developing a strong, more unified network to bring greater value to the business community. And it will strengthen its internal organization and create more opportunities for members to participate in policy development and networking events. The weekend was one of renewal, and confirmation from the business community that MCC is moving in the right direction. For MCC president and CEO Chuck Davidson, who was named to his position at last year’s AGM, the message and direction is clear. “The steps our organization took in the past 12 months were not easy, but we come out the other side more focused and determined to make Manitoba a more competitive place to do business,” Davidson said. “We have a mandate from our board and our members to address the issues facing Manitoba business; now we must find ways to work with government to find solutions to those issues.” JOIN US AT THE MANITOBA CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE 2015 AGM IN BRANDON MAY 1-3, 2015.
