|
TECNA Member CEOs descended on Winnipeg, Manitoba last week for the 2018 CEO Retreat. Attendees engaged in interactive and collaborative discussions, brainstorms and ideation sessions. We also heard from guest speaker Mark Chipman, Executive Chairman of the Winnipeg Jets, who took a break before the next round of Stanley Cup Playoffs to share his lessons on leadership.
