CSAE 2023: Experience Nov. 7-10
Kickstart your conference by joining other association executives at Associations Connect Live for roundtable conversations about everything from governance, annual planning, managing operations and leading people to member retention and value. This is just one of many unparalleled experiential and collaborative learning opportunities available at the CSAE conference in Montreal this fall.

My name is Barbette Igonia, CAE. I started my career as a junior support person. I joined CSAE because it is a professional association that offers networking opportunities, educational resources and professional development for association executives in Canada. It provides a platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and staying updated with the latest trends and best practices in association management. As an active CSAE volunteer, I have served on the Board of Directors as a director and as chair. Because of CSAE, I grew to become a respected leader in the electrical industry. Today, I am the president and CEO and have been with the BC Electrical Association for over 30 years. No matter where you are in your career, CSAE has several benefits to help you grow both personally and professionally. Connect with me on LinkedIn.
