Ambassador Team for outstanding work done to promote CPC in the last year.

I especially appreciate the effort made in setting up and deploying your meetups across Canada. Very special mention to Dorothy Keenan for leading our Member Outreach.

Social Media Team for exceptional work done to deploy CPC’s social media campaign in the last year. I have been electrified and in awe of the massive amount of meaningful content posted on our social media platforms. I especially appreciate the effort made in putting the focus on attracting, retaining, and maintaining CPC members from across Canada.

Tele-networking Team for developing, managing, moderating, and recording the notes for each session in our tele-networking program. Since formalizing the program at the beginning of last year, the team has not missed a beat. Every session has provided CPC members with meaningful discussions and useful tips and resources that will enhance their effectiveness as career professionals.

Communications Team for the great amount of exceptional content produced over the course of a year. The team populated our news feed with relevant and useful posts every single week without fail. Topics are pertinent, on-point, informative, and meaningful for career professionals across Canada.

Certification Team for the consistent and detailed work they contribute to ensure that our certification program is managed effectively. I am especially thankful to all the certification assessors for reviewing and evaluating submissions throughout the year. Their evaluations are always meticulous, and they turn around assessments seamlessly within tight deadlines.

I would also like to thank all of CPC’s ad hoc volunteers and silent partners who help make Career Professionals of Canada an outstanding organization.
