NOTES & NEWS Notes from the Chair By Dave Hallinan, FCPA, FCMA
CPABC’s board, executive team, and staff worked diligently to meet the needs of members in every region of the province.
This was the first year of a fully unified profession, and that unity was palpable during the Member Engagement Tour (MET). Our larger organization is able to offer improved services, increased efficiency, and lower member dues for the coming year.
CPABC struck a Board Renewal Committee to specifically address our goal of attracting high-calibre candidates that represent the diverse demographic and professional focus of our members.
The CPABC annual general meeting (AGM) and first board election is on June 28. Nominations for five vacant board positions close on May 24. Heather Banham, FCPA, FCGA, will officially take over as board chair. The search committee is dedicated to finding someone succeed RichardRees, FCPA, FCA. In the meantime, the board has appointed Olin Anton, FCPA, FCA, to serve as interim president & CEO.
There are two upcoming CPABC events: the Spring Pacific Summit on May 17-19 and Convocation on May 27.
