It is a great honor and pleasure for me to meet and speak to you in this online space. I would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm LEDA’s commitment to its guiding principles – providing superior value to our members, and to our citizens, for the purpose of realizing a richer and more vibrant future for our communities. LEDA’s commitment remains steadfast even in the face of social issues, ecological disasters and the turbulent business conditions we witness today. We further affirm that no hurricane of any scale, and no domestic or global recession will deter us in our determination and commitment to economic recovery. As we navigate forward together to the bright future of the economic transformation of our city, it is imperative that we form strategic alliances with other organizations who share our vision. We are ready to embrace the challenges and demonstrate to ourselves and to the world our inner strength and resilience. We will stand firm in the face of adversity, and we will withstand all forces natural and human. Nothing will alter our course or mission to economic recovery.
