We also share our appreciation for Edan for her nine consecutive years of engagement on the Board, including her terms as Vice-Chair (Professional). Her strategic focus, commitment to accessibility, and significant contributions to the College’s finance and committee work have helped shape and strengthen our work. During her time on the Board, Edan has also sat on the Registration Committee, the Discipline/Fitness to Practice Committee, the Client Relations Committee, and the Inquiries, Complaints, and Reports Committee, of which she served as Chair from 2019-21. We thank Edan for her commitment and engagement.
Lastly, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to Claire, who concludes her service as Board Chair after six years of dedicated leadership in the role. Since 2019, Claire has helped guide the College through a period of significant growth and transformation, advancing important work in equity, diversity, and inclusion, access, and reconciliation. Her commitment to governance rooted in equity, compassion, and regulatory excellence has strengthened the College and helped position it for the future. Claire’s unwavering dedication to the public interest has left a lasting legacy, and we are deeply grateful for her leadership, vision, and service.”
