Dear Industry and Municipal Partners,



With 2010 now upon us, the Board of Directors see a challenging year ahead and Destination Southwest Nova Association will be commencing the calendar with changes of its own.



Effective immediately, Madonna Spinazola, General Manager, will no longer be employed by this association.



The Board of Directors would like to assure you that we will be taking the next several weeks to review the position to better determine our requirements for going forward. As a Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) obviously a strong marketing mindset will be required to ensure our success. In the meantime, Jeanette Joudrey will assume the role of Acting General Manager for the day to day operations.



On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to acknowledge Madonna's contributions to Destination Southwest Nova during the past few years and wish her success in future endeavours.



If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me via Jeanette Joudrey, (902) 634-8844 or jjoudrey@dswna.com.





Yours in hospitality,






Dan Myers

President, DSWNA
