Dear Member,

I will begin by thanking you for your patience during this time of transition at theConvention & Visitors Bureau of Windsor Essex County & Pelee Island. As wecontinue to promote the region and deliver visitor and member services, there hasbeen a great deal going on “behind the scenes” with regard to our evolution as adestination marketing organization.

At a joint City/County Council meeting on March 19 th, a motion was approved tostrike a transitional CVB Board of Directors to develop a regional strategy fortourism that would include such things as funding and governance. Based on thisdiscussion, the current advisory board is being dissolved. Their last meeting willoccur in May/June. We thank them for their time and commitment serving on ourboard. In many cases they have dedicated years to the CVB and the tourismindustry for which we are grateful.

Current CVB Board members, as well as stakeholders from the tourism industry,are welcome to apply for the Tourism Windsor Essex Transitional Board.Interested parties should identify the sector they wish to represent (please refer tothe attached advertisement outlining board recruitment). The striking committeewill consist of three elected representatives from our primary funding bodies -City, County and Pelee Island - and they will determine the transitional board.

The transitional board's work will take them to late fall/early winter at which timeCity and County Councils will be approached with their findings/discoveries.Once deliberation has concluded, and the recommendations approved, it isexpected that the current CVB organization will morph into a new entity knownas Tourism Windsor Essex. Until such time, the CVB will continue to promotethis great region of ours and will continue to support its membership.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we travel down thistransitional road fully embracing the regional approach to tourism in Windsor,Essex County & Pelee Island.

Sincerely,

Gordon OrrManaging Director

I would love for you to apply Wayne.

The process is simple. Just send a letter to the CVB stating your interest,qualifications (stake in the industry, knowledge, experience, organizational ties)and the sector you would be interested in representing. The striking committeewill consist of 3 elected officials who will review and select the board members.This board will definitely be a "working" board and anyone with experiencecreating business plans/strategic plans will contribute significantly to this process.

I know you're busy, but if you have the time, we could put your expertise to gooduse as we move the organization forward.

Mike
