Celebrate the Mountain Lakes
On June 27 at the Summersville Arena & Conference Center , West Virginia Executive ( WVE ) celebrated the Mountain Lakes region and the multitude of hardworking individuals who keep it moving forward .
“ I enjoyed attending the Mountain Lakes gathering and meeting leaders from the region ,” says Delegate Lori Dittman . “ It was exciting to hear about all the progress in the area . The Mountain Lakes region is a true gem tucked into central West Virginia . I have heard it said that through community , collaboration and cooperation , we will all see growth and even more success . Thank you , WVE , for bringing us together .”
Through substantial investments in education , revitalization efforts , outdoor recreation opportunities , arts and culture and exciting new attractions , this region is ensuring that the Mountain State is well on its way to becoming both a primary tourist destination and a favorite place for locals to gather .
“ WVE ’ s reception was an incredible
opportunity to network with people from the counties comprising the Mountain Lakes region ,” says Marianne Taylor , executive director for the Summersville Arena & Conference Center . “ The evening was festive with delicious food , connecting with old friends and making many new ones .”
Without this region ’ s unceasing dedication to the state and all who inhabit it , West Virginia would not be where it is today , and WVE is honored to recognize its contribution . Events like these are some of the best reminders of the ongoing , daily commitment the citizens of our state put forth to create a place where everyone feels welcome and has an equal opportunity to thrive . The future of the Mountain State looks bright , and WVE hopes to continue shining a spotlight on the regions that play a significant role in its success and prosperity . •
