Interest in this forum has expanded to include 22 representatives from 15 different organizations, a healthy increase in interest over our first session. Ask your association about the process! Are you a true collaborator? • Celebrating Success – Canada’s Sector Council Program has been operating for 25 years. The CSCSC, a relative newcomer to the sector council family, is looking for anecdotes, best practices and examples of where we have been able to demonstrate our impact, as part of this celebration. Have we made a difference in your organization, in your association, or in the work of your members? Drop us a short note with the details to kmaynard@supplychaincanada.org. Your input will be used both internally by the Council, and with material developed by the Alliance of Sector Councils (TASC) (www.councils.org) to demonstrate the value that sector councils have, and the impact that we make on the labour market in Canada. • What We Need From You • Focus groups have been confirmed to review 13 new occupational standards. The sessions will take place in Toronto, and at locations across Canada via facilitated WebEx. See http://supplychaincanada.org/en/occupational-standards-II for details, including dates of sessions that may interest you or your members.
