Felicity, what do you enjoy the most about being a CMA?
The membership. There are so many wonderful members that have so many diverse and interesting experiences. The network to be gained from attending networking and CPLD events is fathomless. At every breakfast networking or CMA BC recruitment event I continually meet new CMAs, CMA students and individuals working towards being accepted into the program that are engaging and interesting community leaders.
What attracted you to the CMA Vancouver Chapter Board?
After I completed my designation I wanted to become more involved in the CMA Community. The CMA is not like a degree, it is something that is more alive, enduring and evolving; I wanted to be part of that growth path for both myself and the designation.
How has the CMA assisted your career?
As someone who has specialized in Corporate taxation for over 17 years the CMA has given me a tool kit with which to communicate to the highest levels of management in the companies within which I work.
What is your vision for the Chapter?
My vision is consistent with that of past Chapter Chairs:
To be the “go to” community that our Chapter Members think of for:
- building a network;
- seeking guidance and assistance with their career path;
- finding support and structure for specific business needs in their work place; and
- a community with which to connect with like-minded individuals and have fun.
We look forward to working with Felicity to grow the Chapter and have fun doing it!
