Membership Spotlight

Rejoined in 2019

I am thrilled to be back representing Meetings + Conventions Calgary as their director of business development in the international and Ottawa markets. I originally joined CSAE in 2009 and was a member until 2016. I rejoined the CSAE community to continue my education and understanding of the not-for-profit sector to gain a clear grasp of the challenges and successes association executives face within the current economy, which allows Calgary to support our Canadian associations better.

CSAE members and the organization's opportunities for networking have not only been beneficial in the growth of business prospects for Calgary, but they have also allowed a deeper connection of business relationships within the community.
