Dear MDRAO members, 

I hope that you are enjoying the spring so far and that you have big plans for the upcoming summer. You all deserve time to enjoy time off with your family and friends.

I want to start by thanking the members that nominated candidates for the Chapter and Provincial elections. It is important to ensure that we have replacements for the board members who have completed their mandate. As you know, my mandate as your president is finishing on May 31, and Sara Roberts will be moving into the president’s position. My heart is heavy with mixed emotions, the past two years went by so fast! I will miss being your president, but all good things come to an end, and it’s time to let someone else take the lead.

Sigma Chapter held an Education Day on May 4 in Sarnia, and again, it was a great success. Stacey Gielen and her team organized a full day of great speakers. Vendors were present to support us and showcase their products as usual. Many attendees stayed to mingle and enjoy each other’s company after the event.

The Provincial Board members held a meeting on Sunday, May 5 where we discussed things like the textbook update, the practicum project, upcoming education days, MDR week 2024, the 2025 MDRAO Conference, and other MDRAO initiatives.

I am looking forward to continuing another two years on the Provincial Board as your past president. I will do my best to assist Sara in her new role, especially in the first year.

Take care,

Nathalie
