My goal as President was to always be working collaboratively and put the member first. At a variety of times working with CanSPEP (& as a founding member) I’ve done a lot. Two things that stand out: Continually updating the Accessibility Guide from when I first wrote it with another planner shortly after ADA came into effect in US & before CanSPEP was an association; and the ability for members to ask for services, suggestions on what their needs are. I continue to be on the Past President's Council because history is vital to any organization to see where we’ve been, where we are and where we want to go. Because CanSPEP created something that was never created successfully before in the industry and because it is crucial that we continue to marry the past with the present with the future.
