AGM Recap

Thank you to everyone who attended our Annual General Meeting in October. We were pleased to share highlights from the past year, including updates on programs, facility improvements, organizational structure, and community initiatives. Members also had the chance to review our financial statements and hear about upcoming priorities for the year ahead.

We are grateful to our outgoing Board members for their time and dedication, and we welcome our newly elected Board who will help guide the ACA in the coming year. We’re really enjoying connecting with our membership during the before and after networking event, and we hope you see value in engaging with us in this manner! The thoughtful questions, ideas, and feedback shared are greatly appreciated. We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to strengthen our community together.

If you were unable to attend our AGM, check out the recap at acadiaca.com/agm.
