I’d like to start with a big thank you to all the members who continue to welcome me to the association, so kindly. In my second week at OMCA, I continue to prioritize connecting with members, Provincial partners, and government officials. In short, this has made for very busy days learning about the priorities of our members, and industry.

We have confirmed our association’s participation in the Coalition of Hardest Hit Businesses. This advocacy coalition is comprised of businesses and associations in the tourism, travel, hospitality, arts, festivals, and business events sectors, who have been the first impacted by Covid-19 and will be the last to recover. The coalition continues to focus on Federal business support programs and access to liquidity.

As I get settled into OMCA, I will continue to ensure OMCA’s members stories are shared with government officials and our partner associations. Our team is working hard to support our members and we will continue to advocate on your behalf.

Thank you for supporting OMCA!
