Lambda Chapter Annual Report

Trevor Lee has resigned as both Lambda Chapter President and Provincial chapter member. He is pursuing a home business venture and we wish him success for the future. His efforts in motivating our chapter have been impressive and we thank him for his years of service and dedication.

The position of vice-president was also vacated with Brenda Spithoff moving on to another position within our hospital facility. She will be missed and we wish her the best in her new role.

With these positions becoming available, Luanne Sutherland, Manager of SPD at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Science Centre, has stepped into the president's role. Joe Graham from Thunder Bay has happily stepped in to fill the vice president's shoes.

Bonnie Cordeiro continues in the position of Secretary /Treasurer and has provided our membership with the necessary communication given our miles of separation.

The Annual conference in Toronto was attended by Trevor Lee, Brenda Spithoff, Jen Campbell, and Anh Nyguen. They had an exceptional learning experience and were able to present this to our group at our first meeting of the year.

CSAO week was celebrated third week of September with recognition to all of our MDRD staff. We had a pizza day and daily draws of gifts that were supplied to us and tooted our horn on our hospital blog site.

October meeting — Presentation by Jen Campbell about experience at the annual and shared the key speakers topic. Trevor attempted to run a webinar presentation about machine validation, but unfortunately the webinar would not load properly and we only saw the first half.

January meeting cancelled due to busy department.

April meeting — Annual- Draws took place for fight and hotel expenses to be covered at 2013 Convention in Toronto. Cindy Cole was to make contact with the chosen members to confirm ability to attend.

Membership drive awaiting on-line applications. Draw to follow our membership drive for two free memberships.
