PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
I joined the CIO Association to connect with Canadian IT executives after an early career spent interacting with US and international IT professionals. Using Edmonton, Alberta as my base, my aim was to build strong local and national peer networks to help me grow in my profession, enhance my business skills, and exchange information on best executive practices with IT leaders sharing a Canadian perspective. My goals were achieved very quickly due to the CIO Association’s focus on business leadership, mutual mentorship, and team camaraderie. For me, this is the value proposition on which our association delivers.
Any association is only as good as its contributing members and the quality of the relationships they develop. Through our diverse representation across many industries, the Edmonton chapter offers an empowering, comprehensive sense of the local and provincial business landscape, and a valuable perspective on the influence of external markets. All members speak candidly about the issues they face both as individual CIOs and as members of this relatively new profession, and all contribute ideas for improvement. Our networking in a vendor-neutral atmosphere really works for our mutual benefit. Joining the association means that you, too will have the forums, peer networks, and voice to help you grow and enhance your career. You’ll also have opportunities for leadership that will enhance your executive skill set.
As the Alberta/Edmonton markets continue to rapidly grow and evolve, CIOCAN’s Edmonton Chapter will keep pace. We’ll continue to develop the voice of the CIO as business leader, and advocate for the best interests of our fellow IT professionals, our organizations, and our city. It is my hope that you, too will see the same value, and become part of creating this synergy.
