Message from the Chair

Opportunities and Challenges

By Allison McCarthy, Chair of Enterprise Fredericton

I would like to begin by returning to the messages of two of our past chairs. In the 2010 annual report Kevin Kilbride remarked on the importance of collaboration to the achievement of impact from the limited resources made available to us.

In the 2011 annual report Suzanne Alexander discussed the beginning of our efforts to develop a strategic plan to re-imagine our future within an enterprise system that expected change to occur. Change has occurred and Kevin and Suzanne’s comments are equally relevant today as they were when they authored their message from the chair.
