We have about 20 committees, subcommittees, liaison committees, task forces and chapters that advance our message and do the work of the association. CEO will be initiating a more aggressive communications plan with our members to ensure that the key decision makers in the CEO member firms recognize the importance of their firms’ contributions. We are always looking for volunteers! Earlier this year the Board of Directors adopted a new Strategic Plan. This new plan emphasizes three primary goals: Advocacy, Business Practices, and Member Engagement. Our mission “To promote a sustainable business environment for our members” remains unchanged. It is what CEO works hard for every day. Our vision to be the authoritative voice for consulting engineering companies in Ontario continues to challenge our organization. While we feel that we are attaining that vision of being the authoritative voice with the provincial government, we need to develop a better understanding of our role as the authoritative voice of our member, firms which often have disparate views on the issues we must address. We, together with our member firms are stronger if we present a unified voice. At times the workload appears immense. It is important work that CEO does to advance the health of our industry. Lastly as the outgoing chair of CEO I would like to thank the support given me by an excellent Board of Directors and an amazing team of six dedicated CEO staff.
