The Board of Directors

President message

Dears members,

During the last convention of Nom de l’association en anglais, I was deeply honoured to accept the presidency of the Association. I have been involved on the board of directors since 2013 and have been a member for 30 years. The challenges our profession faces are large and I believe that when our Association was created, in the 60s, the reasons behind their meetings were different but as pertinent and necessary as today.

Our website is a platform for communicating and a means to access information for our members. There, you will find our upcoming events as well as a job offer section and direct links to our suppliers’ webpages.

Associations such as ours exist because of their members. Your participation during trainings, conferences and activities is very important to ensure our sustainability. Your Association works very hard to give you the opportunity to acquire new skills by offering training sessions and seminars organized in partnership with our suppliers. We also create opportunities to network and ask for opinions and suggestions from your colleagues. Our profession has gained credibility over the years and we are now perceived as managers and professionals who have great skills in our field.
