On August 21, 2018, we held our 2018 Annual General Meeting at Miller Thomson LLP Calgary. We were also joined remotely by members and executives in Vancouver, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg.
Akash Bir was elected as the new president of FACL Western, and Jessie Gill has now officially stepped into the role of the Immediate Past President. George Wong was also voted in as the President-Elect, forming our three person executive team.
