June 2015

The GAMMA chapter held a successful Education Day at the Brockville Convention Centre and completed their CSAO MDR techniques Course in Cobourg February 2015. Members often attend the OTN sessions from Theta which we hope to utilize more.

No new reports from LAMBDA, I will continue to reach out and help them to update their profile on the website. I look forward to networking with them and their members. Many of their members have been attending the THETA chapter meetings for Education via OTN. The CSAO MDR Techniques course was completed May 9, 2015, in partnership with Theta.

The THETA chapter had a very successful Education Day North Bay, April 17-18, 2015.
