SUMMARY:Chamber Breakfast - 2024 'State of the City' with Mayor Ellis
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the State of the City Address from\n\nBelleville Mayor\, Neil Ellis \n\nThe Grand   70 Harder Drive\, Belleville    \n\nThe Chamber has appreciated the connections with the City of Belleville and looked forward to the annual State of the City Address from the 77th Mayor of Belleville\, Neil Ellis\, currently in his second year of office. We are excited to be able to once again enjoy breakfast\, connect with you and discuss what is happening and what will be happening in the future of this great city!\n\nNeil was elected Mayor on October 24\, 2022.\n\nBorn and raised in Belleville\, Neil is first and foremost a loving husband to Susan\, and the proud father of Zachary\, Maddison and Abigail.\n\nNeil has deep roots in the community. He owned and operated Doug's Bicycle for nearly 30 years. From 2006-2014\, Neil served as Mayor of the City of Belleville. He proved to be a visionary leader who championed physician recruitment and infrastructure improvements\, believing such investments to be a precursor to economic growth and an improved quality of life for all citizens.\n\nDuring his two terms as Mayor\, Neil quickly came to realize that federal leadership is key to securing the stable funding needed for municipal infrastructure development and service delivery. This prompted him to run for federal office\, and in 2015 Neil was elected as the first Member of Parliament for the Bay of Quinte riding. For the next four years\, he served as Chair of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs. Upon re-election in 2019\, Neil was named Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.\n\nNeil has extensive knowledge of Belleville and the surrounding area and has built strong working relationships with business leaders\, elected officials from all levels of government\, and community stakeholders. He is a well-respected leader who has earned a reputation for being approachable. Neil welcomes the opinions of others and is committed to teamwork and collaboration.\n\nNeil is an experienced candidate with a proven commitment to the principles of good governance. He has earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Law and Psychology from Carleton University\, and professional designations through McMaster University's Directors College Executive program.\n\nAs the Mayor of the City of Belleville\, he believes that decisions made by the municipal government most directly affect the daily lives of citizens\, and this is where his greatest passion lies.\n\n\n\nJoin us for great networking during the coffee mingle at 7:00 am\, followed by a delicious breakfast buffet.   \n\nDo you want 2 MINUTES at the microphone following the breakfast presentation?  \n\nProvide a $50 gift certificate at a local business (we hope you will choose a Chamber member) and you will have the opportunity to tell your story to everyone in the room.  We will take the first TWO submissions entered.   The submission form is available when you register.\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER.
