Gala Highlights 

It was great connecting with members at our AGM, gala and Wasserman award dinner in June. We had a very well attended event at City Winery where we shared highlights of our last year including 60+ training events, 20+ member events, $37,000 awarded in scholarships, and 24,000+ hours of CPEs attained by members and trainees. We also celebrated our Wasserman Award recipient, Alex Abramov!
