Since joining the Society in September 2022, two observations emerged: 1) We have accomplished a great deal, but we have much to do; and 2) We are dedicated to progress, all of us—members, Council, employees and community collaborators alike—and we are fortunate to have such an impressive crew of hard-working, diverse, intelligent, experienced professionals, all committed to a strong and supportive future for our profession, our industry, and our province.
