Report from the Interim Executive Director

Because of the work undertaken by this taskforce and how it may impact the operation of the organization and societies, the CIC has delayed hiring a new executive director. [...] Over the past year, the CIC has also been working with these communities to streamline finances for the goal of being able to audit all CIC finances, including the community groups, through one central audit. [...] In 2021 so far, we have been delighted to announce 7 CIC award winners, including Molly Shoichet, MCIC, as the winner of the CIC Medal and Alison Thompson, MCIC, as the winner of the Montréal Medal. [...] Congratulations to all the award winners and many thanks to everyone who took the time to nominate all of the outstanding candidates. [...] In order to grow programs and generate new revenue opportunities, the team has added new positions over the past year, including the awards and governance associate, marketing and partnerships coordinator, and manager of membership, communications, and marketing.
