MEMBERS IN FOCUS Recognizing Member Achievement Final legacy awards event caps off historic day J une 24, 2015, was a momentous day for the profession, with proclamation marking the official launch of CPABC in the morning and the final legacy member recognition event taking place in the evening. More than 170 attendees, including members of the new CPABC board and past ICABC presidents and council members, gathered at the ICABC Member Recognition Dinner to celebrate the achievements of the 30 Fellows, one Honorary CA—now CPA (Hon.)—and four Lifetime Achievement Award winners recognized in 2014/2015 (for profiles of the honourees, see the February 2015 Member Recognition Supplement online at bccpa.ca/members/member-recognition). Honourees were also joined by family, friends, and colleagues. The gala event was a fitting end to an historic day, marking the end of one era and the start of another.
