EFMA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Ken Janzen, CEFOP
Welcome back, everyone, to another exciting year for our association. First of all, I would like to thank all of our members and associate members for the support you have shown this association and its executive. It is this support that has created the climate for advancement and change. Two years ago, under the direction of president Steve Jackson, our executive started a process which led to the development of the framework of our Long-Range Plan. Last year, under the direction of president Bruce McLean, the strategic plan – which included eight strategic goals – was completed for presentation to the members at our 2011 Annual General Meeting. The eight strategic goals are to create: 1. An association that boasts great relationships and strong networking with its members and partner associations. 2. An association with fi nancial stability. 3. An association with organizational sustainability.
