As we enter this new year, we are faced with challenges, some known and some unknown, that we must overcome to the best of our ability as elected officials. The voters have placed their trust and faith in us to do what is best for them. We are expected to improve the quality of life for our constituents and we must deliver. And we WILL! Working together, as the County Commissioners’ Association of West Virginia, we can overcome the hurdles we face, and go over, around, or under them. Whatever it takes to get the job done! There will be disagreements, discussions, and even heated “debates”, but we will work together to achieve our goals!
I know you all have the passion necessary, as I do, to move forward. Not only as an Association, but as human beings that care for other human beings. Everything we do revolves around the idea that we work for and with others to make their lives better, as well as our own. We must set aside personal differences, work together, and do what is right to help move our Counties and our State in a positive direction. We have done so in the past, and we will continue to do so.
Vince Lombardi once said, “the only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.” If we work hard, work together as a unit, stay positive and motivated, we can accomplish a great deal for our citizens! The only thing left to say is: Let’s get to work!!
