At CARI's 77th Annual convention, held in Niagara Falls, June 6-9, Dan Klufas, owner and founder of CRO Software and co-owner of Calgary's Federal Metals, made his final comments as Chair of the organization. Matthew Zubick, of Ontario-based John Zubick Ltd., was announced as the new Chair, to serve a two-year term.
"I am honoured to be in this position and grateful for the trust of the board and membership," said Zubick. "Recent events have reminded us that we are not always in control of our own destinies. Whether it is a shift in government, unexpected tariffs, new stewardship programs, or changes to regulations, politics can quickly spill into our working lives. We need a strong voice to let the world know who we are, what we do, and what is important to us. CARI is that voice.
"CARI provides us a medium to let policymakers know our concerns, and allows us to deal with issues as a group. Over the next two years we will focus on adding value to grow our membership and strengthen our voice."
CARI's 78th Annual Convention will be held in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, June 6-8, 2019.
