The commitment I made when I took on the President role was to foster mentorship between senior and junior members. This program followed my Presidency for a few years by linking senior and junior members at our annual Conferences. I still maintain that mentorship should be one of the cornerstones of our Association. By far my proudest moment was when I was awarded the Inaugural Award of Merit for Leadership and I have continued my commitment to CanSPEP by serving on committees and as an active member of the Past Presidents’ Council including since my retirement. Over my many years of involvement, I have made lifelong friends and will be forever grateful to CanSPEP for the friends, opportunities to serve, great collaborations with my fellow members and lots of fun. it has been a great ride!
