Sean Dyke, St. Thomas Economic Development Corporation CEO last week was recognized for his outstanding leadership, innovation and his lasting impact on local and regional economies.
He was awarded the Joseph A. Montgomery Economic Development Achievement Award which is presented annually to a stand-out leader in economic development in the province.
Dyke received the award at the Economic Developers Council of Ontario’s President’s Dinner and Ontario Economic Development Awards held in Toronto on Feb. 6.
It is the province’s most prestigious award for the economic development profession.
Recipients are selected based on their demonstrated success in delivering projects with substantial community impact, ability to develop and mentor
teams, leadership skills, and capacity to foster strong relationships with different levels of government, community stakeholders, and the private sector.
A media release from the St. Thomas EDC points out, “This distinction symbolizes dedication, expertise, and a lasting legacy in advancing economic prosperity for businesses, communities, and residents.”
Robert Furneaux, St. Thomas EDC board president notes Dyke’s leadership “has been nothing short of transformative for our community.”
