Jane Meng, CAE

I worked at Motorcycle & Moped Industry council for fourteen years as Director of Finance and Administration. Currently I’m working as a Director of Finance and Administration at Sojourn House. As a Chartered Professional Accountant, I’m specialized in accounting and finance. Taking CAE courses opened my mind to overseeing the organizations beyond numbers and I became an executive member. My management skills are enriched in business operation, leadership, strategic planning and risk management. As a Certified Association Executive, I’m happy to give back to the CSAE community through volunteering on the CSAE Finance & Audit committee. In addition to finance, CSAE has excellent information on human resources, by-law updates and networking. I really enjoy CSAE’s events and conferences, where I can network and discover new and trending topics such as AI and organizational operations. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.
