PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Dennis Costello (Flocor)

My experiences with the CIPH Ontario Regional Board have been fun, educational, rewarding and fulfilling, culminating with the opportunity to serve as President; for which I am grateful. I have always enjoyed jumping "on the soap box" and sharing my opinion. This year's President Messages will serve as an excellent venue for my ramblings. I encourage everyone to take advantage of what CIPH has to offer. Participate!

The Business Meeting Planning Committee chaired by Brent Cornelissen (OS & B) are working hard to bring you an interesting slate of guest speakers for our Business Luncheons. Please purchase a Passport Package, which is fully transferable, so that you and/or your colleagues can benefit from the networking and professional/personal development opportunities these sessions have to offer.

Our Young Executive Society led by Krystal McNaughton (Wolseley) is planning more Social and Educational events to aid in the development of the "up and comers".

Paul Blaik (Independent Mechanical), Grant Stuempfle (Bibby Ste Croix), Brian Ruetz (Desco) and their committee are planning another Ontario Business Conference in the spring, dates and venue to be advised. If you consider how well received our previous conferences have been, this is an event you will not want to miss.

Jerry Fairborn (Moen) this year's Golf Chairman, is hoping for your support of the 61st Annual CIPH Ontario Region Golf Tournament on September 16th at the Brantford Golf and Country Club where the weather is always cooperative and the golf is always challenging. Come out for a chance to get your name engraved on the O. L. Robb Cup!

Once again, thank you for the chance to serve as President of our CIPH Ontario Region Board of Directors; knowing the long list of Past Presidents, it is humbling to be counted among them but having such a strong slate of current Directors along with the support of the CIPH Staff, I am confident the Ontario Region will have another successful year.

Respectfully submitted,

Dennis Costello Flocor

CIPH Ontario Region President
