Congratulations to David Chartrand - re-elected as President of the MMF









The evening of July 27, following recent province-wide elections, David Chartrand (top photo) and his board were inducted into office by Lieutenant Governor John Harvard.

This is David Chartrand's fourth term as MMF President. Congratulations David. Congratulations also to all the recently elected board members including Anita Campbell (second photo) and Darryl Deslauriers (third photo).

After the ceremony, I had a chance to meet Mrs. Chartrand (fourth photo), David's mother. During his speech, David spoke passionately about his mother and the role she played in his life. When they were growing up, the family, through necessity, was on welfare. As they were growing up, David's mother continually emphasized the importance of education. Indeed, it was from his mother and through education that David learned the skills which have been so important to his success. David is an example to many other children growing up in challenging circumstances.

Among those in attendance was Senator Head, shown in the bottom photo with Kristine McGhee.
