Putting U.S. exec on Atlantic board pushes trade coalition : Jonathan Daniels from Maine new VP
The region's business community needs to continue to collaborate with its colleagues in northeastern United States, despite government resistance regarding the Atlantica concept. That from Jim Quigley, the Fredericton-based president of the Atlantic Provinces Chambers of Commerce, after the first-ever American citizen was recently appointed to its board of directors. Jonathan Daniels, president and CEO of the Eastern Maine Development Corporation, has been named the second vice-president of the Atlantic Provinces Chamber of Commerce, an organization focused on using a larger geographic base to improve the economic performance. The Atlantica concept was developed in the past three years, an economic initiative directed at promoting the entire region as an economic hub. The region stretches from St. John's, Nfld., through the Maritimes and as far west as Buffalo, N.Y., and as far south, providing a combined market of 43 million consumers. This is also expected to immediately stimulate interest in Europe to do business with this region.
