Chilwin is leaving Market Regulation Services Inc. and is looking for new opportunities

Friends, family, and colleagues:

I am leaving Market Regulation Services Inc. (RS) on August 28, 2008.

As many of you know, for the past three years, I have been RS's Chief Enforcement Counsel and for the past two years, also its General Manager, Western Region. As of June 1, 2008, RS will merge with the Investment Dealers Association of Canada to form the new Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC). IIROC will consolidate its executive legal function to Toronto and has selected a good friend and colleague of mine to be the regional executive for Western Canada. I declined IIROC's offer to serve as the Director, Market Regulation, Western Canada and have chosen to pursue other opportunities.

To facilitate a successful transition to IIROC and allow them to recruit a new Director, I have agreed to stay until the end of August to manage the Market Regulation team and advise the new Vice-President. On a personal note, this time will also enable me to finish my MBA thesis before I begin a new opportunity.

I would appreciate any leads for short or long term consulting projects, legal retainers, business, or employment opportunities to which I can contribute. While Lisa and I will stay in Vancouver, I am available for consulting or legal projects and retainers outside British Columbia. I believe that my legal, managerial, and executive background, with special knowledge and skill in competitive strategic analysis, law, and regulation, makes me a compelling value proposition for potential clients or employers. As many of you know, I have successfully started and grown a small business, led functional teams, led enterprises, and have successfully completed many consulting projects on a diverse range of topics ranging from industry analyses, board governance, and strategic planning….not to mention a successful career as a litigator.

Let me know if I can send you my resume. I will also post my resume on Facebook and post my career information on LinkedIn.

Thank you.
