  12. 2012-13 Luncheons There were nine (9) luncheons held in Edmonton with the number of attendees ranging from 23 to 48 There were seven (7) luncheons held in Calgary with the number of attendees ranging from 20 to 78 and most included webcasts Luncheons were re-started in 2013 in Saskatchewan, one in Regina and one in Saskatoon. Registrations ranged from 10 to 15 people. Other associations are being approached for future joint ventures

  13. Student Chapters CPANS has three approved student chapters including: • Lakeland College (renewed with >20 students) • University of Alberta (renewed with >20 students) • University of Calgary (re-started with 10 students) Future prospect, discussions underway to re-start Mount Royal University, need faculty advisor to assist Goals • Introduce students to the benefits of being involved with CPANS and AWMA • Engage students in fundraising and social events, and working on school and community projects consistent with A&WMA mandate • Facilitate student attendance at networking events and conferences such as our luncheons, Annual Conference and AGM

  14. Student Chapters 2012-13 Highlights • CPANS supported joint Lakeland College and U of A mixer held at U of A during AGM • CPANS sponsored U of A student BBQ • U of A/U of C student poster competition held at AGM • Academic scholarships bestowed by CPANS for undergraduate student, Rayleigh Conley, Lakeland College, $1000; pending travel allowance to ACE in Chicago for U of A Graduate student, $1000. • Up to ten student chapter members attended Calgary and Edmonton luncheons each month.

  15. Student Chapters CPANS currently offers a single $1,000 scholarship for a student from each of these institutions who has demonstrated a balance between academic excellence and leadership in the Student Chapter or Chapter activities. CPANS endeavors to add a second $1,000 scholarship for each approved Student Chapter with 20 or more members (currently for two of our chapters). This will allow CPANS to concentrate its support on continued development and engagement of student chapters in regular member events so as to strengthen the transition for students moving into the ranks of Young Professionals to serve CPANS and A&WMA and ultimately to continue to grow our membership. Would like to establish link to industry; need to change our bylaws with separate criteria for student members to support this goal.
