I can't help but agree and marvel at all that we've accomplished so far in 2017. Our Board of Directors had a stra tegic planning session at the end of June to check in on our objectives for the year and refocus for the second half. I am so proud to share with you some of the fantastic results of our first half of the year. It was the goal of the Board to recruit 10 n ew members this year and by June 28th we had already welcomed 20 new members! Since then several more have joined and our chapter's membership is healthy and growing. We also wanted to get our members more involved and participating on committees. By the end of June we had 53 per cent of our members active on a committee. This is a testament to the dedication and commitment of our Board and our members to our success as a chapter and the results of our efforts to help our members get more out of their memb ership. Another objective for our Board was to make educational events more accessible for our members through scholarships. As a result, we have increased the value of our global conference scholarships and increased the number of scholarships available to Young Leaders SITE Canada office: 6700 Century Ave, Ste. 100 Mississauga, ON L5N 6A4 T: 905.812.7483 F: 905.567.7191 office@sitecanada.org S ITE lines ' flip book is fueled by August 16, 2017 SITE Canada Celebrates 30 Years President's Message
