It now represents a diverse array of professionals from such Canadian industries as:

Brand name pharmaceuticals

To meet the needs of our growing Chapter, we need your help. The Chapter is looking for company champions who will lead their fellow colleagues to Chapter events and ensure that chapter communications gets to them.

Furthermore, the board requires good directors who will take the stewardship and governance of the Chapter to heart. Individuals with vision, willing to set the direction of the website and student chapters are much needed. Project managers who can coordinate the golf tournament, the AGM and plant tours are also required.

Please contact us if you wish to lead an initiative or serve in some capacity.
