Happy November, everyone!
Time is a fascinating thing. Some moments just fly by; others can feel interminable. Personally, I cannot believe that we’re already in mid-autumn! Seems like just a couple weeks ago that I planted my garden, and yesterday, I dug up the last of the vegetables just before the snow decides to stick around for a longer visit. I’ve also spent a lot of time travelling over the last couple months for events and speaking engagements. While it can be a challenge to keep track of everything going on, I want to take the time to share with you some of the incredible work being done by CCDI and my amazing team.
The last of our fall 2022 Community of Practice events are taking place this week. A huge thank you to all those who joined us, virtually and in person across the country! I had a wonderful time seeing old friends and making new ones, and sharing ideas on how to create a culture of belonging in our workplaces and communities. I look forward to connecting with you all again soon.
A hearty congratulations to our most recent cohort of Canadian Certified Inclusion Professionals (CCIP) who just completed their final exam mid-October! Our certification enables diversity, equity and inclusion professionals practicing in Canada to obtain a formal and standardized recognition of their knowledge, skills and experience in the DEI field. The time and dedication exhibited by these CCIPs cannot be overstated and I am thrilled to have them recognized for their work.
I recently joined Maggie John from Context: Beyond the Headlines for a panel discussion about the racial awakening that has been happening in our society over the last few years. We discussed how companies, institutions and religious establishments can continue this momentum in a meaningful way. I invite you to watch the video here.
I hope you all have a wonderful November and I’ll see you next month!
All the best,
Anne-Marie Pham
CEO
