Lambda Chapter Annual Report
Trevor Lee has resigned as both Lambda Chapter President and Provincial chapter member. He is pursuing a home business venture and we wish him success for the future. His efforts in motivating our chapter have been impressive and we thank him for his years of service and dedication.
The position of vice-president was also vacated with Brenda Spithoff moving on to another position within our hospital facility. She will be missed and we wish her the best in her new role.
With these positions becoming available, Luanne Sutherland, Manager of SPD at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Science Centre, has stepped into the president's role. Joe Graham from Thunder Bay has happily stepped in to fill the vice president's shoes.
Bonnie Cordeiro continues in the position of Secretary /Treasurer and has provided our membership with the necessary communication given our miles of separation.
