Four new members elected to CSTD board
The Canadian Society for Training and Development (CSTD) has elected four new board members. The new members are: Ramona Materi, president of Ingenia Consulting in Vancouver; Regan Legassie, commandant of Canadian Forces Base Borden, in Borden, Ont.; Sheri Phillips, manager of training and development at Novopharm Ltd. in Toronto; and Isabel Feher-Watters, manager of enterprise learning at Pink Elephant in Burlington, Ont. The new members, who will serve on the board for three years, were elected at the annual general meeting held during the CSTD annual conference in November.
CCHRA moving to Ottawa
The Canadian Council for Human Resources Associations (CCHRA) has announced a new vision and mission for the organization. The new vision is “to be a world class organization leading the advancement of the profession built on credible and essential designations.” The new mission is to “be the national voice on the enhancement and promotion of the profession across Canada through established and credible designations, collaborating on national issues related to the profession, leading federal government relations and proactively positioning the national HR agenda at the international level.” The CCHRA national office will be relocated from Toronto to Ottawa, a move it said will help alignment with federal initiatives and support work in both official languages.
