Date/Time: January 17, 2023 - 3:00 PM AT
Location : Online (please register for the Teams meeting link)

There will be no guest speaker presentation at this meeting. Instead, your Executive Committee will welcome an open discussion by all Members. There is a lot to discuss following recent proposed changes announced by the CSSE President and CEO that will impact or change our Chapter directly. For instance:

• The individual Chapters that exist today will merge into Regional Chapters. Ours would be an Atlantic Chapter/Working Group and would consist of NB, NL, PEI and both NS Chapters.
• What will our meetings look like and how will they be convened across provinces?
• Will networking and professional development opportunities be affected? How?
• What will happen to current executive positions? How and when will this occur and be switched with a regional executive?
• Will we still be able to budget for local operations and host local events?
• Why is National asking Chapters to forward all monies to them and close the individual bank accounts?

You may be asking the above questions and more, and it is imperative that we discuss and seek answers from within our Chapter, regionally and nationally.

PLEASE RSVP IMMEDIATELY to secretarywesternns@csse.org.  IT IS VITAL THAT WE HAVE QUORUM FOR THIS MEETING!

Thank you!  See you on the 17th.

Heather Wright
Chair CSSE Western NS Chapter
