ETA Chapter Annual Report

The ETA Chapter has had three successful meetings so far for the membership year. We have had some exciting topics discussed at the meetings, and we hope members have taken the opportunity to utilize some of the educational information within their facilities.

 

The upcoming AGM is slated for May, 18th 2017 (5pm - 7pm) at both the Scarborough Birchmount and Sick Kids locations where the actual discussions around the changes will take place. Voting on the agreed upon changes will take place on-line a few days after the meeting; all voting members are encouraged to take part. Please note that associate members are welcome for the discussions but will not be able to vote on matters.

 

ETA membership to date is 302, of which 107 are technicians and 19 are managers. This translates into a ratio of one manager to 5.5 technicians, which is excellent. The ETA Chapter registered 82 students for the MDRAO course last October and again for March, 2017. Our gratitude to Michael and Lorna for their continued efforts in coordinating these courses. Our balance to date in the account is $708.15. A financial statement will be sent to the office at the end of April for a rebate from the provincial board. Most of the Chapter money will be used to assist members in attending our Conference in September, 2017. Traditionally, members who have attended the chapter meetings most frequently will have an opportunity to register at no cost to them.

 

Membership numbers for our ETA Chapter meetings are on the rise and I would like to thank everyone for their continued support and also a great appreciation to our executive members.

Regards,

 

Rohan Jagasar

MDRAO ETA Chapter President
