Jennifer Watson | Brandon First

My name is Jennifer Watson, and I am the executive director of Brandon First. We’re a not-for-profit organization consisting of a three-person staff, 12-member volunteer board and base of 45 local business stakeholders dedicated to promoting Brandon, Manitoba as a host city for sports, meetings, conventions and agricultural events.

I joined CSAE and decided to pursue my CAE designation at my first CSAE conference in 2016 when I had just started working at Brandon First. The knowledge I gained going through that program has helped me immensely in many aspects of my day-to-day work, especially in my interactions with the Board, stakeholder member relations and organizational management.

CSAE is such an amazing organization to be a part of and I look forward to continuing my education and experience as a member!
