As you read the contents of my official campaign website, I am convinced that I will earn your support not only because of my platform and vision but more importantly, because of my demonstrated leadership and passionate commitment to the issues that matter to Ontario's diverse communities. This demonstrated commitment and my capacity to get things done are the qualities that distinguish my candidacy from other candidates for this position.
I believe that my education, experience, people skills and research abilities will enable me to build a strong team that will have the capability to undertake many challenging and innovative tasks and succeed. I plan to ensure full participation of our Provincial Territorial Association, Liberal Party of Canada (Ontario) and added consultation with our great Commissions: Ontario Young Liberals, Ontario Women's Liberal Commission, Aboriginal Peoples Liberal Commission of Ontario and the Seniors Commission, and our Members of Parliament. I also believe that it is necessary to engage all ethnic communities and work with our National Executive to ensure that our new Leader will implement a winning election platform, that the Party's vision and values are realized and that Ontario continues to be a land of opportunities for all.
VOTE: Georgina Bencsik for Regional Vice-President Ontario. This important office is a natural progression in furtherance of my lifelong commitment to public service both in a professional capacity and as a well-known community leader who has extensively served Ontario's many diverse communities in a variety of roles.

She is also very passionate about community development and volunteerism at the local, national and international levels. She enjoys challenges and thinking "out of the box" in developing novel and creative approaches to increasingly complex societal problems.

She does this on a daily basis through public service in professional and volunteer capacities.
