« It is with great emotion that I accepted the honorary presidency of the 11th edition of the Excellence Gala of the Brome-Missisquoi Chamber of Commerce. I myself received one of these prestigious awards in 2017 and I admit that it often gives the little kick that we miss some mornings as an entrepreneur. Being an entrepreneur involves work, many questions, many hesitations, fears, hours, crying, but also a lot of satisfaction, daring, self-fulfillment and so on. We are fortunate to be performing in a beautiful region that buzzes with energy and flourishing businesses, thanks to citizens with bright and bubbling ideas. Let's take the time of an evening to discover the treasures that surround us and dive together to discover the pearls behind these companies. The Gala Committee and I are waiting for you on October 26 to celebrate our collective pride.»
